That Colorado "bomb cyclone" reminds me of the big-*** snowstorm in late 1978, I used to drive 55 miles one-way to work, and we drove in all that. Mind you, they finally did close roads, but lots of folks were out in that, me included. Only recall two snow days in the 12 years I was in school. I don't recall runs on stores for basic stuff. We always had food stored either in the freezer or the pantry, plus my parents owned a restaurant. Had the right tires on the cars. No worries.
These days? I operate like my Dad did. When you have tornadoes in Spring (actually, year-round!) and freak ice storms, you have to be ready. Common sense seems not to exist with many, unfortunately. When people stock up on perishables in sketchy circumstances, you just have to wonder.
