Snow *claustrophobia* !! ??

So I'm living in the land of snow these days, and actually don't mind it!

But last night I couldn't sleep thinking about the potential blizzard we may get. I was imagining snow claustrophia, like being stuck inside (which I usually LOVE!) and not being able to get out!

I usually LOVE snow days when home with the kids all snuggly and warm! But this was really a creepy feeling, that I've never had. And I've never had claustrophia but it relt like it, yuck!

So have y'all had this feeling and how do you handle it? Or any kind of clautrophobia?

We got 2' of snow Saturday. Our roads were cleared by Sunday morning so no claustrophobia. It was nice to have an excuse to stay in and not do anything.

OP, I can't help you. Claustrophobia is a very good description for the way snow makes me feel. If it's forecast, I just get depressed until it stops snowing. Last winter we got 3 separate blizzards that left me stranded for nearly a week each time. I worry about the power going out, etc.

I know if we lived further north, at least we'd have all kinds of winter sports. It would be much better to get outside and skate or ski, etc. Believe it or not, I grew up in the North. It's been so many years though, that I've gotten to really hate snow.

When I lived in Virginia, we had a big snow on a Thursday and then again on the following Sunday! Good thing I went to the store and had a fully stocked refrigerator when the snow hit. I must say...I did get a certain level of cabin fever which I guess is the same thing as you're feeling. I think it's pretty normal but how long before it starts to bother you will depend on the person.
