We didn't bring chains because the forecast was good weather. The Acura MDX has 4-wheel drive, but we were stuck. We had to be pulled out. Big Bear got more snow in 24 hours than it did all last winter -- then 50% more the next day. They closed all roads out both Sunday and Monday. Monday night it got down to 10

We always made sure that we kept plenty of provisions ( ) in the house in the mountains, and that was also had plenty of provisions ( ) in the car when we went up there as well ... just in case

We ran out of food, bottled water, and booze on Monday. I had to get the realtor's maintenance guy, Gabriel, to drive me to the store. It was packed with incredibly long checkout lines, 25 shopping carts deep. I said "Gabriel, what is all this shit?" He replied, they're all stuck up here and out of stuff, George. The roads out are closed."

I used to like getting snowed in.... long as there was enough food and water.
