They'll probably be buying all of this from L.L. Bean. Their flagship store in Freeport, Maine, opened in 1917 and has only been closed for four days since then - otherwise, it's been open 24 hours a day. (Their stores in Ellsworth and Bangor are not open around the clock.)

During a blizzard, one normally stays indoors if at all possible; it's far too easy to lose your way in the whiteout conditions and die of exposure, even in suburbia. It isn't always possible to stay home, of course - one wants sturdy, warm boots and warm clothing (including a winter coat with a hood) if one absolutely must venture outside in a blizzard.
