I can't believe the hype being generated about this snowstorm in the US. Grocery stores are packed. My own family is starting to worry. As a committed conspiracy theorist, I can't help wondering whether this is going to be used as a mini covid type test to see how submissive the sheep really are.

As fun as that might be, I think it's mostly reality hunger.

We evolved to deal with danger but we live in safety. Next best thing is getting really worked up over winter.

We aren't getting it like you all are I'm sure, but people keep asking me how my prep is going. I'm on my last roll of toilet paper, my fridge is empty, and I have some sprouting sweet potatoes in my pantry.

So long as I'm reasonably certain I can walk somewhere with power/internet/heat/water, I shan't waver.

Good to hear. I'm sure there are well meaning friends around you who fear for your safety. It is insane in the Northeast. I refuse to prepare on general principles. I have always been that way. I almost paid the price when Hurricane Sandy hit, but I survived.

I respect your confidence in yourself to wing it. It is my way as well.

I have nothing against prepping if people are inclined to it but hysteria harshes the vibe more than it's worth.

I have lived through many snowstorms. The level of panic I see for every weather event in recent years is really over the top. I'm sure it helps MSM ratings
