I would rather be stuck at home than anywhere else where all my stuff is. My books, my games, my CDs, the computer, the TV, my movies.

I voted at home but I'm also very fond of airports.

however, if it got snowed in that would mean no take-offs to watch and also that all the people would stick around (I like it when they just flow past me) so I don't think I'd like that.

Home.

I have a well-stocked pantry and wine cooler, a gas grill in the back yard for cooking, a wood-burning fireplace, and plenty of candles.

I have been stuck in a truck a couple of times, during blizzards, home
is always preferable to freezing you bottom off in a drafty truck.

Home, here I have a well stocked pantry, and I might be getting a generator or a fuel cell
inverter for emergency power.

I'm not likely to get snowed in where I live in Norwich... snowfall is always very light there and I don't remember ever seeing more than a few inches. And it's certainly not going to happen at my family's home in Hawaii! But if I were to be snowed in, I would rather be either at my flat, with all my books and films to amuse myself, or in the local bookstore.

At my house.

Computer, food, DVDs, family, the dog to keep me satisfied.


Otherwise, I would love to be stuck at the airport.

Many people to make conversation with and help out.

I live in Alaska (and have lived all over it) and have never once been snowed in. You guys just don't know how to manage it :lol:

Thats with getting like 3 feet overnight. The only snow day I've ever had. At the time me and my dad still went to the store and other stuff.

am remember last year/or year before, sister was at her boyfriends family home in wood dalling [norwich] and they sent some photos they had just taken of outside the house over the internet,very thick snow-though not so much they were snowed in.



am have always wanted to be snowed in/just to have that much snow,americans and canadians are lucky to get proper winter.

For me, it would either be my apartment, someone else's house (either a family member, or a significant other if I had one), or at the airport (I have a fascination with airports).

Thankfully, I live somewhere where it only snows once every 5 years.

There is no such thing as being snowed-in in Edmonton.

If the roads are buried and the snow it too deep, you can't drive in it or even get your car out, that's snowed in. If your town doesn't even have snow plows, you're still stuck because it be dangerous to drive on the roads. Look what happened here in Portland in the video I posted in the other thread. People are just stupid.

That still is not considered being snowed in here. If you can walk to school...

I remember hearing back in late sixties, there was such a snow that all was seen was the roofs and the telephone poles. My dad lived out in the country so he used his skis to get to school.

How are the teachers going to get to school?


There's a school in my neighborhood so kids can just walk there but the teachers don't live here, they live in other places of the city so they won't be able to get here. So schools close because of no teachers. Even the transportation is delayed. It takes my boyfriend a few hours to get to work in this weather and the city is too big to go to places by feet or skies. It take forever. But I could walk downtown but it might be 45 minutes I'm guessing since I don't live far from it.
