Helen, I do NOT think ANYONE.....had to live through AND witness what we saw.....The Snow was so HIGH that you could NOT drive.....Abondoned cars were EVERYWHERE.....ONLY CERTAIN PEOPLE COULD DRIVE THEIR CARS.....Doctors...Nurses and POLICE were ALLOWED on the road....THEY would ANNOUNCE where to get MIlk and BREAD BUT when you got there IT was ALL SOLD OUT....I remember giving my 7 year old daughter a $10..00 bill to get a loaf of bread at a nearby market....When she came home...She had NO BREAD and NO CHANGE...I asked her what happened......She said she went to the counter and ordered a loaf of bread....She gave him the money and he took it....BUT he gave her NO CHANGE and NO BREAD.....He took advantage of a 7 year old child in the STORM.... I went back there 2 times to get OUR money back.
