Believe it or not, there are cars down there.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I don&#8217;t care what the calendar says, winter isn&#8217;t coming, it&#8217;s here! At least in Buffalo, New York, where I currently reside.<\/p>\n<p>We got pounded by some lake effect snow last night. But it wasn&#8217;t just run-of-the-mill lake effect snow, it was thunder lake effect snow!<\/p>\n<p>Yes, that&#8217;s even more dreadful and frightening, because not only did we get upwards of 3 feet of snow, we had high wind gusts accented by loud cracks of thunder!<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say today we&#8217;re snowed in. My girlfriend and I, that is.<\/p>\n<p>And given that we&#8217;re snowed in, I figured I&#8217;d put together a list of the things I value most when I&#8217;m at the mercy of a wintery tempest. \u00a0Now, my list isn&#8217;t the end all be all. \u00a0I&#8217;m definitely leaving some items off. \u00a0 But here is what I came up with:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Self-defense tools<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_27482\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/tools.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"prepping-101-5-must-haves-youre-snowed\" title=\"Five Must-Haves When You're Snowed In\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27482\" title=\"Five Must-Haves When You're Snowed In\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-27482\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/tools-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"Stevens and a Swamp Rat.

SImple, but effective. Yes, an uninspiring photo, I know.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>While the chances of a burglar, home intrude, serial rapist, sociopath, etc., breaking into my residence may be rarer in the midst of a mini blizzard, there&#8217;s still a chance that they&#8217;re out there casing my apartment, preparing to invade. If that happens, it&#8217;s good to know that I have the tools to deal with the threat.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll notice in the photo that I have 12 gauge shotgun, Stevens Model 320, and a decent size combat knife, a Swamp Rat RMDx LE. Sufficient tools indeed (What does your go-to home defense posture look like?).<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s face facts, in these snowy conditions with roads closed, low visibility, freezing temperatures navigating the streets is extremely difficult. Police and first responders could be hours away, not minutes.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have tools for self-defense in situations where help is not readily available, you&#8217;re gambling with your life and the lives of the people you love. Get armed, get trained and get mentally prepared for whatever may come your way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Warm Clothes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, at some point I&#8217;m going to have to go outside and shovel off my GF&#8217;s car. I&#8217;m not looking forward to it. Thankfully, I have proper clothing to deal with the elements. Wool coat, leather gloves, scarf, wool hat&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>But I also got me a pair of Thinsulate Wrangler jeans! Yeah, they&#8217;re a little bulky, but they are Warm! I&#8217;d suggest getting a pair if you live in snowy conditions. I ordered them off the Internet, from Sheplers.com, I think with shipping and tax I paid $55.94. A bit pricey for a pair of jeans, but you won&#8217;t regret it.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_27483\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/wrangler.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"prepping-101-5-must-haves-youre-snowed\" title=\"Five Must-Haves When You're Snowed In\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27483\" title=\"Five Must-Haves When You're Snowed In\" class=\"size-full wp-image-27483\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/wrangler.jpg\" alt=\"Wranglers!

The aroma also makes your home smell lovely.<\/p>\n<p>In a power outage situation, crockpot ain&#8217;t gonna work. Thankfully, we still have our power on.

It&#8217;s good!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Back when I was real young, the inimitable Jimmy Griffin, the former Buffalo mayor, gave arguably the best advice to citizens following a similar lake effect snow storm that hit the city on Jan. 18, 1985.<\/p>\n<p>The intrepid Griffin said, &#8220;Stay inside, grab a six-pack and watch a good football game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I couldn&#8217;t agree more. Besides, what&#8217;s good food without good drink?<\/p>\n<p>Aside from having a bottle of Bullet Bourbon in the cabinet above the refrigerator, I have more than a six pack of Magic Hat #9. The &#8220;not quite pale ale.&#8221; It&#8217;s a great bear, crisp, not too hoppy, and it goes down smooth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Snow Angel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, when you get snowed in, you get snowed in with a friend. Better yet, hopefully you get snowed in with a &#8220;snow angel.&#8221; In my case, I got my GF. Couldn&#8217;t ask for a better situation. Later today, we&#8217;ll snuggle down on the couch, crack a beer, and watch a movie together. It&#8217;s the perfect way to spend a snow day.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, we probably won&#8217;t watch a movie. We&#8217;ll probably end up watching Real Housewives of (Fill in the Blank). I don&#8217;t mind compromising on that. I make her watch and cheer for the Buffalo Bills, arguably the most painful professional sports team to follow.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry, she wouldn&#8217;t pose for a picture.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><strong>For those of you who are also snowed in or bound to be snowed in at some point this winter, what&#8217;s on your 5 must-have list? \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I live in Buffalo, NY.
