(14,881 posts)I was unemployed and in the middle of clinical depression. My pantry was empty and I had no idea the storm was coming. I planned to go food shopping the day it hit. I lived on cream of wheat with powdered milk for nearly a week. I walked a mile to the supermarket a couple days later, but it was closed, its doors frozen shut by an indoor lake.
It took 5 days of shoveling before I finally found my car. I was just out of cream of wheat when the food store re-opened.
This go-round, I am on a ridge, a few miles inland from the Maine coast, so I'll get hit with high snow and high winds. Plus I work on the waterfront, so will be driving home when its coming into its peak.
But I have a full freezer and pantry, and will stock up on chocolate tomorrow. They just filled my propane tank, so if we lose power I'll still be warm. Maybe do laundry tonight.
