Please forgive me if this seems like stating the obvious, but perhaps the lesson we should all take away from this winter is that the vernier of civilization is very thin. I don't think you need to go full blown prepper to survive times like this, but having a stock of non-perishable food, a reliable source of water, extra blankets, and maybe a generator and appropriate fuel wouldn't break the bank and would save a lot of inconvenience. Since a lot of us are rural and you have a source of firewood on your property, a wood stove wouldn't hurt to have, either. If the weather goes sour for a week, it's a lot nicer to roll over and sleep in until it gets better, rather than have to go driving on ice or rain slick roads chasing after necessities that have already been picked clean.:2cents:
