Winter weather

Well, it looks like we're heading down that slippery slope (so to speak) of a pattern of winter weather. What the heck, it's December! I remember a few years back when we got ourselves into this pattern of a storm of some type every few days. It sure made winter seem like it lasted forever... And of course people panic and run to the stores, run to the gas station. I wonder what would happen if there ever really was an actual emergency.
