Just reading about all the storms in upper New York and it reminded me that in the north, all doors open in. There are many stories of people that were trapped in their homes for days at a time behind a door that wouldn’t open out against the snowdrifts. I recall one such storm we had in Iqaluit that lasted a couple days. The morning after it ended I was heading to work and in places literally walking even with the power lines on top of the power poles. Took a few days to dig everyone out after that one!
Some lessons learned? Always keep a few extra days food and water in the house along with candles, batteries for flashlight and radios, a few good books and TP!
