I am terrified of this weekends snowstorm!

What if we lose power or run out of food? I mean they won’t even be able to get to us to rescue us with blocked roads!

Power loss is unlikely. The snow will be light and fluffy due to the very low temperatures.

You probably will not be able to get out for a few days. Stock up on food and entertainment.

You're joking, right? Please tell me this is sarcastic. Do not be that person who cleans out the shelves at the grocery store. Shame on you if you do.

This area will get all major roads plowed in a couple of days after the storm. Grocery stores will restock during that time. If there's a lot of snow, your side street might not get plowed for a few days, so either you walk to the store, or you keep a *reasonable* stock of food for a few days.

You should have a *reasonable* quantity of basic necessities at home, including batteries for flashlights, lighters/matchsticks to light your gas stove if you have one, a bit of firewood for your fireplace if you cleaned the chimney recently, pantry and household items, ice melt that's pet-friendly, a shovel and ice-scraper/brush for your car, as well as snowboots for everyone.

Boom scenario: 20 inches of snow for DC.
Bust scenario: 6 inches of snow.
Worst case scenario: freezing rain and ice event, that will cause power outages. But that last is a remote possibility, so stop stressing about it.

My husband think he's driving to Raleigh on Monday with our teenager. So. Yeah. Right there with you.

Stop stressing. Either he can't drive or he can. No reason to be terrified five days before hand.

Why so dramatic? You're embarrassing yourself. Be and adult and prepare.

Your teen is not going. Your husband can try, but you're not going to pick him up when he's stranded. Tell him this.

Speak for your own neighborhood. I plan to lose control of my SUV and hit the nearest utility pole.

But everyone stocks up before blizzards.
