The discussion below is interesting. Being ready with these storms is very important because the cold is a very severe and dangerous cold. But, what if the grid doesn’t fail and the warmth fills the room(s)? What then?
I think having a level of comfort is important in case the answer is a beer run. During a storm like this having something enjoyable to do is important. So, once the shopping is done and the kitchen is stocked, preparedness also means having fun, relaxation, and comfort prepared, too. That is determined by the individual that will remain indoors until it is safe to be outdoors again. It is a pure neglect to wallow in misery indoors longing to go outdoors. Have fun with a hobby, handyman activity, or that special recipe the chef never had enough time to try and perfect.
So, while survival preparedness is important, mental health preparedness is important, too.
