I was out of coffee and low on cat food, would hate to not be able to have those. But it made me recognize again how poorly people are set up for an emergency.

I remember 1996, with 3 feet of softly fallen snow overnight. I'm in the crosshairs of the prediction this time, could be a good weekend for my family unless the winds take out power lines.
