A snow storm is a winter system that brings heavy snow, often with wind and deep cold. It can knock out power for days, make roads impassable and drop temperatures into a dangerous range. Heat, water, food, communication and mobility all get tested in the same event, so for preppers it is a useful teacher.
Snow storms matter to every family in a winter state. They also matter to anyone who drives, works or travels through one. The households that come through calmly are the ones that prepared before the first flake fell.
