In 2018 I planned a road trip through New Jersey when a small storm passed through and dropped 3 to 4 inches of snow. The new governor, Murphy, was not familiar with the weather process and did not mobilize the salt trucks and plows. As a result, it took me over six hours to go 20 miles, all because of some minor road conditions.
What this made me recognize is that bugging out, or even sheltering in place, may not always be an option. Safety may not be in the immediate area, and the time it takes to travel from one location to the next could take hours or even weeks. Additionally, in urban areas the number of people on the move will greatly limit options available on foot or in a vehicle.
