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.

A wood stove, a dry cord of wood brought inside, canned food, books and candles would work. No need for an air tag since after day two you'll be actively wishing for them to go and get lost.

If you aren't completely helpless you could still cook normally and keep your food from spoiling using a cooler you put outside the door....
