So unless the plow has just gone, you're pretty much snowed in or out....even with a truck...even tractors get stuck in that condition. And if you're like me and drive a civic hatchback that has been lowered 3 inches lower than stock....well...don't even THINK about it

Yeah, St. Louis has been SEVERE WEAK SAUCE when it comes to snow since I moved there. Worst storm I've seen (wouldn't even consider it a 'blizzard') was 4" of snow....and that melted in less than a week. And as for the power outage...that's how I lost my original two bananas a few years ago....massive ice storm in Iowa that wiped out power for our entire town for a week. And your kerosene heater must be a much different type than I'm envisioning, cause all the ones I've seen require electricity to run in addition to the kerosene.
