JF: I knew there would be snow, and planned my day accordingly although not well enough. My first job was in Sanhedria, and after that, I did some essentials shopping in Ramat Eshkol before heading home to Ramot. That ten minute trip took two and a half hours with gridlock havoc due to icy downgrades and a mass exit from Har Hotzvim. This was Thursday at the very beginning of the storm. By Thursday night, from our perch above the highways, we knew is it was stupid to try, or rely on anything automotive. So we made an unusual Shabbos menu and we adapted. There is no substitute for resilience and foresight. Being able to hunkier down and give the weather due respect also helps.
