Welcome to the pond

Here's a weekly bit for you all:

its a blizzard. we've been snowed in this weekend here in jersey.
it's been delcared a state of emergency.
now I don't know about you, but I get a nervous feeling whenever a blizzard hits and
I know I wont be able to leave my house. I just don't like the thought of being 'trapped' almost. Let's call it, "Cabin Fever"

So, the bit for the week of jan23.2005 is to tell me how do you feel about being snowed in? Ever been snowed in? If not, how do you think you would feel?
What do you do to pass the time? Do you go to the grocery store before the big storm and buy tons of water?? Or do you just not really care. You have tap water at home, so whatever. Do you go on a cleaning frenzy like myself or do you just veg out in front of the tv?

Here in Western Oregon valley, we don't really get a lot of snow during our winters. If we do get any, it's usually not much. So when we got a fair amount of the white stuff last January, it was a big surprise. For about a week or maybe a bit longer, we were under a blanket of snow and of course everyone went crazy because of it. As for myself, it prevented me from doing some post-Christmas shopping so my reaction was NOT good! Aside from that, the snow didn't affect me all that much because I'm usually hanging out at home anyway. It was a bit colder than usual, but otherwise things were pretty normal for me.
