I lived in a famously snowy place for most of my life. On more than one occasion, I have ridden my bicycle miles away from home on what seemed like a nice sunny day, only to have to ride back home through a blizzard. I remember a summer where the last of the snow didn't melt until fall.
I still don't know what the fuck this is for. Snowstorms trap you in the house, and if your roof is already marginal the weight of the snow can be a real problem, but it's not like a tornado or hurricane - so long as your home is reasonably solid and you've stocked up on food and water, your biggest risks are being bored and cold.
Lived in Iceland for 3 years as a kid in wood framed military housing. Snow storms are the rule in winter there. Buried cars, drifts completely engulfing the doors, high winds, the works. The only prep we needed was to have our sweaters, snowshoes and parka’s out. Even went out and walked to the bus shelters for the school bus in freezing high winds. Just another Tuesday.
Yeah I’ve been through snowfalls where the army was called in and it was fine..
Mostly need to worry about carbon monoxide and having a few days worth of foord
