Totally fair, I was more rambling on about my cool projects. I actually wanted some of this stuff a year or so ago irregardless of the weather situation.

My main point that may have gotten lost in my rambling was disgust with the people I saw who were already apparently on the brink of death after 24 hours because they just couldn't be bothered to try. Not only should they have done better before, but look to improve the situation next time around. I've actually been through similar albeit slightly warmer when I lived in an apartment. It wasn't quite as aspirational as my current plan, but it was a different time in my life. I was never hurting for food then either. Maybe it's just I'm from the South and we knew when a winter storm comes to have food and don't count on electricity or transportation. It was always a joke that people would go stock up on bread, milk, and eggs whenever they said the word "snow" on the news.
