Maybe if you live in a trailer. For the rest of us it’s just “Tuesday”. Most everything works, roads are cleared quickly, and supplies come in the next day.

Minnesota here. Our power didn't even flicker. I'm going in to work today.

Reply to [TIL] Early in his career, Colonel Sanders, the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, had a habit of getting into fights. He once had a shootout with a competitor, Matt Stewart. After Stewart shot and killed one of Sanders' employees, Stewart was convicted of murder, eliminating Sanders' competition. by OvidPerl
Dave Thomas' (founder of Wendy's) autobiography has a lot of good KFC stuff in it since he used to work for the Colonel. Sanders apparently swore a lot and frequently got into fistfights.

I've worn Steger mukluks exclusively since ... 1995? Never had cold feet. Plus they're lightweight, so it's easy to go bounding through snow banks.

I really don't know. That's not something that I've faced up here in 53 years. We don't really lose power for a day and a half; at least, not in the winter.
I guess drain the whatsis and turn off the whoozis as that other person said. Anyway, I live in an apartment, so pipes bursting is not my problem.
