I'm pretty old. Grew up in a very large family. Always made sure milk and bread available in the house for several days when we had snow storms. Peanut butter and jelly, fluff and peanut butter were staples. My mom also had powdered milk on hand. When you have kids you have to have these things on hand. Now I keep a cooler on hand. Lots of ice in freezer. My neighbor has a grill, plenty of propane. We are prepared!
