Saw this and died laughing. Grew up my younger years in the south. Then my preteen years were in Washington and Idaho. Such a difference!
@cat as a kid I lived down near Pocatello. Lots of snow. Right now I live closer to Boise and we hardly even get snow.
I grew up in Michigan so that crap is nothing to drive in, I just hate doing so because others don't know how to drive in it. I've been the south since 2005 and I laugh hard when it gets a small dusting causing everyone to clean out the stores. Its like seriously, just stock up on can goods, water etc. Get campfire stove and cook like that. Get a gas generator so you can keep the fridge plugged in so that doesn't go bad. Close of a certain room in the house, use some heaters to warm it up and there ya go. My mom did that (except we had a gas stove and it did the job nicely) when the power would go out in our old af house.
This applies in the UK too ?
