Maybe in our centrally heated homes with indoor plumbing, internet, 13843 TV channels, computers, Xboxs the prospect of being inconvienced for 36 hours makes it seem like "survival", but in reality it's nothing. 100 years ago, this type of snow would be infinitely more deadly and survival mode was actually required.
I'm out of bread, popcorn, chips and beer, but big deal deal, I just eat other things.
