At least you finally got the beer.
See, I loaded up on everything before the snow and deep freeze hit...instead of one case of beer I got 2, got pop, got sidewalk salt, got extra propane for little grills & heaters just in case...milk, eggs, yadda yadda...
Then I hunkered. Didn't venture out again until Sunday. Not so bad yesterday, our mess starting to move out...hits 27 today and wind out of the SSE...then get into 30's starting tomorrow.
More on the mess that went through and headed east...

First, if you venture out in this kind of crap, be prepared - have a vehicle in good winter operating condition, have winter survival preps in your vehicle. If you don't have either STAY where you are!
Second, no what is happening outside...no matter how well prepared and winter ready your vehicle is if the weather is high winds and severe cold...why risk it?
Third, don't travel obscure roads, stay on main roads...may need to go slower but if you're in a hurry you probably shouldn't have left...main roads will more likely be near towns, gas stations - shelter.
Fourth, in bad weather like this, do as truckers do...most long haul drivers know the roads and conditions...stay 100' or so behind one...it's a big deer/car bumper for ya and easy lights to see.
Fifth, stranded - set out reflective signs and/or flares...if your buried in snow do NOT run the engine to stay warm, you'll just carbon monoxide yourself...use those winter winter survival preps and rations you should have with you.
I'm sure I'm forgetting other helpful hints, seriously though I cannot understand why people risk things and are not adequately prepared and venture out when they should stay put. Will be interesting to see how many of the are of people who thought they had a seemingly indestructible 4WD/AWD beast and thought they could venture into a winter storm in easy luxury?
Also, very glad I do not need to fly...

You are meat, renting yoke space and subject to whatever whim gubmint monkeys inflict. Plus, the added excitement of wondering your cockpit crew will experience a forced clot-shot in-air culling...
No effing thanks!
ETA - Whoa, that last bit is confirmed...GMO pilots for serfs...but not for elites...
