Winter Storm Second winter storm in a week. I honestly get so anxious when they come as we live...

All about the prep. When I was a kid, it was sometimes days before the town plow could plow us out. There is nothing to be afraid of if you understand and prepare in advance which should be waaaay to your advantage given doplar and all other weather assets.
I found, as a kid, that it was pretty exciting----power goes out. All the electric noise making white noise machines go silent and you hear nothing but Mother Nature. I take that every time. We played board games together as family by kerosene lamps that we retrieved from the closet. And once power was restored, even though we were not plowed out, my parents baked mounds of fresh bread and the smell just permeated the farmhouse. It was not the worst of times, it was the best of times.
