I'm not prepared for this at all. I wasn't even planning on buying a winter coat until Black Friday. NY had such a light winter last year so I didn't need one.
There's another major winter storm forming in Montana, and will bring heavy amounts of snow to parts of Western Canada, and the US plains. It's already locked in a huge artic air mass too. Wind Chills of -20C (-2F) are expected too.
