the only difference is no one said much about it outside of daily conversation. it was way worse than anyone had predicted. 25,000 cattle died in western SD alone. spearfish SD got over 48" of snow overnight. we didn't point fingers and complained. folks just hunkered down where they were and waited til it cleared and started cleaning up.

I think a big problem with your storm is the majority of southerners who just flipped out and piss and moaned about it so much. the sky didn't fall, just some hard water. yes it sucked, but it's what each individual does after that counts. you're all still here, so that's good. years down the road you can share your experiences with younger folks who won't remember it.

bottom line is it's all this damned global warming! LOL.

in all seriousness, you guys had a storm that was underestimated, kinda like we did. we heard it was gonna be bad, we just didn't know HOW bad til the aftermath. life goes on, what I would do now is make a list of everything you wish you had done to prep, so next time you'll know how to prepare, or you'll be able to have it on hand already. we keep a pantry/cellar with canned food we rotate out as need be. a few 20 lb propane tanks and 10 gallons of freshwater. it's not a lot, but it sure helps it go by better!
