Eastern Sierra, CA—February’s fury came at the odd end of the storm alphabet. Winter storms “Olive,” “Piper,” and “Quest” walloped California, like no other, and at the end of the day, after the blizzards, winds, flooding, and cold temperatures, many of us locally could only wish for a bit of a break.

“Provisions are an issue.” That’s the headline from remote, island-like places, where getting supplies in and out of towns is becoming an issue. Following days of snow and closed highways, many people are finding their pantries (if they have one) near empty. And, for many without provisions set aside for emergencies, they are finding out the hard way, that being stuck someplace without food, water, heat, and shelter, is a part of this year’s tough winter. “Laying in provisions” used to be something that our ancestors did every fall,

MISC. AUTO & PARTS in preparation for the upcoming long and cold winter months. Those who grew up during the past 50-100 years probably remember when you couldn’t even travel the full length of US Highway 395, without scoping out where the gas stations would be open and available. However, considering supermarkets in the southern California mountains ran out of food, fuel, and supplies, it is in our best interests to get prepared, and stay prepared for weather emergencies lasting days, into weeks. If you do only one emergency preparation item following these massive weather events, consider filling a couple of boxes with canned goods, water, batteries, extra clothing, and medications.
