Not sure how well the blizzard's gonna work out. I mean, realistically, the snow would pile up, easily up and over the doors and possibly some of the smaller houses. The water system would freeze, and the snow blocking the characters in means several days worth of light by PCD and candles, if you have them. And, don't quote me on this, but some of the poorer structures that characters live in (which I assume is a good majority) whose insulation isn't top notch due to being in a poor condition, plus the cracks that undoubtedly most of said poorer structures have are going to leak in cold air- espcially at night, when the temperatures tend to tip. No sun for a month means those houses are slowly going to become refrigerators, and it's going to get to very unpleasant temperatures in them, to say the least. The most? Most characters would find themselves dealing with hypothermia. Even if the water and temperatures were somehow taken care of, what about food? Unless given some kind of warning, the residents aren't going to know this is going to last so long. At best, most of them are stocked up for a week or two, if they're not one of those really cautious ones, or one of those who happened to take upon themselves to go to a greenhouse. The snow's going to make it, if not almost, impossible to get to those people who have food. And those plants need sunlight. By the end of the month, I doubt they'd be alive.
On one hand, it would be a great idea to really give the residents a perspective the situation they're in, and how perilous their lives truly are. Besides coming up with ways to solve the problems I mentioned above, you should inform the muns that this is not one of those events that a character's just going to have to sit tight and bear through, but something they're going to have to strain and work together to push through. Maybe a mod or staff assistant's character who will recognize these problems and assign groups of people who had the means of ideally tackling a certain problem- i.e., people with the ability to manipulate fire to light torches for warmth and light, etc.
For a regular group of humans, this would certainly spell disaster, and even for enhanced beings, it's going to be a struggle- and that's if they work together.
For the flash-freeze event, I honestly think this would work much better for a single day, or two at most, mostly because I'm pretty sure doing one week of nothing but a single thing (except sleeping) is pretty much impossible since you'd be (forced to be) ignoring your other needs. Not to mention, boring. Would anyone really want to post their character doing nothing but singing or eating, for examples, for seven days straight? It'd be a great short event, but after a few days, I'd imagine that it'd quickly lose its appeal.
Posting this in hopes of staff working to make remedies? ^^;
