Prepare yourself for another one of these

In the winter of 2013, a quick heavy snowfall overtook the South, and in quick order OBLITERATED the hope of getting home after 1 pm. Millions (thousands?) of people were stranded on roadways, like the picture below. The only reason I got home was my wife, who had just left the office, called me with a frantic voice and told me I HAD to drive home NOW. I think I probably hit the "get home safely" window right before it solidly slammed shut, stranding nearly everyone else on iced over highways and side streets.

While I have always had bags full of emergency supplies, I haven't always been vigilant about KEEPING THAT SHIZ IN THE CAR, or wherever it should be. So I'm following FEMA advice, and actually putting my plan, and half assembled supplies, into place ahead of the SNOWPOCALYPSE 2014.

I've heard 2014 is predicted to be even worse than last year. So while keepying your ear to the ground and getting home before the ice rink envelopes everyhing ITP, OTP and WFAFTP (way far away from the perimieter), I will have supplies in the car, at the office, and at home to help me weather whatever may come.

This is my account of assembling these supplies, and my reccommendations for your own prep.

Feel free to provide your thoughts and reccomendations as well.
