Leonard barges in to the Sheldon's lab. Sheldon has his back on the door and he seems to be pondering on some equations written on the board.
Did you check out the news yet, Leonard asks.
No, I've been working on this equation for six straight hours without any breaks, but I think I'm close to a major breakthrough. If you just leave me alone for a couple of more hours, I can solve this and take one step closer to my Nobel prize.
OK, but before I hand you your Nobel, look at the feed from the campus outside.
Why, I don't care what the is outside, this is far more important. And not just for me, but for humanity. Maybe even to the survival of the human species.
Did you guys see what's happening, Raj and Howard ask together, running in to the room.
As I already said to Leonard, I don't care what is happening outside. You are all interrupting me so off you go. Go outside and join whatever is going on there and leave me alone.
OK, then look at this, Raj says and holds his phone facing Sheldon. There was a freak weather pattern that first went to the mountains in north and then started moving towards us, extremely fast. And before anyone could predicted it, it was on top of us. Look at the picture Sheldon, it's snowing.
Yes, it looks like a nice winter wonderland. Now get out and let me work.
The snow is already a feet thick and more is coming. After the blizzard there is a high pressure front with cold weather that will leave the temperature below freezing point, which means that there is a good chance that the snow will be on the ground for the next couple of days, maybe even a week. The news are saying that roads are already closed and people should stay where they are.
But it is Friday and after I'm done with this equation, I will be going home to have a nice relaxing weekend.
Good luck with that, walking in two feet of snow. And I or any one of us can't drive you because as you heard, the roads are closed.
Sheldon walks to the corner of his office and opens the cupboard. Luckily I have prepared for this, I have my emergency backpack right here, he says and pulls out a big backpack from the cupboard.
You have a backpack and supplies in case you get snowed in and you live in California, Raj asks.
No, I have an emergency backpack for earthquake situations since that is the disaster most likely to hit us.
So you don't have any winter clothes in there, Howard asks looking a bit cold.
I have some clothes, but mostly I have rations, radio, extra batteries, flashlight, rope, maps, knives, a handgun and other survival stuff I ordered online.
You have a handgun in there, Leonard asks? You can't buy guns, that's illegal. Do you have a permit for that?
Yes, and my mother gave this gun to me when I left Texas. To keep me safe, she said. And advised me to use it in emergency situations only. And after thinking about that for a second she took the gun away from me and locked it in her gun locker. But I saw the make and model so I went and purchased one for myself. For emergencies like this.
But Sheldon, there won't be any wolves or polar bears wondering outside to get us, Raj says. Right guys, I saw that one movie where Earth goes back to ice age and in that movie there were wolves.
There aren't any wolves or other wild animals outside to eat us, so just leave the gun in the closet, Leonard says. We can't leave this building anyways, there is too much snow so looks like we will be stuck here for a while. It's six o'clock so most of the student and professors have already left. The cafeteria and vending machines should have plenty of food for us to last. But just in case we should go and get some food from there. You know, in case any other people stuck in here come to the same conclusion and go there to gather food.
