I just got this dispatch from North Dakota from Surviving Relatives

WEATHER BULLETIN

Up here in the Northern Plains we just recovered from a Historic --- may I
even say a "Weather Event" of "Biblical Proportions" with a historic
blizzard of up to 24" inches of snow and winds to 50 MPH that broke
trees   in half, stranded hundreds of motorist in lethal snow banks, closed
all roads, isolated scores of communities and cut power to 10's of  thousands.
 

George Bush did not come.... FEMA staged nothing.... no one howled for
the government...no one even uttered an expletive on TV...nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards...no one asked for a FEMA Trailer House.... no news anchors.

We just melted snow for water, sent out caravans to pluck people out

of snow engulfed cars, fired up wood stoves, broke out coal oil lanterns or
Aladdin lamps and put on an extra layer of clothes.
 
 Even though a Category "5" blizzard of this scale has never fallen
 this early...we know it can happen and how to deal with it ourselves.
 Everybody is fine.
