I'm in Upstate NY...and ALWAYS stock up for winter so I'm ahead of the game.

Coffee, sugar, soups, even spam this year, beans, macaroni & cheese, canned spaghetti sauce etc etc

Yup, lessons learned living in the snowbelt, but by surprisingly few people based on the panic shopping and stripped bare shelves every time a storm rolls in.

You’d think they’d never seen snow before.

And of course, I carried the prepping mentality to NH where we get socked with nor’easters, which are lake effect on steroids just not as often.

But people here are far more prepared. Power goes out and all you here is generators running everywhere.

And in house hunting, we saw some impressive emergency electrical panels set up. Power goes out and you just flip a switch to run off the generator. People are proud of them here and often you’ll see them in the reality pictures of the house.
