Well here in Texas we don't get snowed in, but it is so cold sometimes you don't want to get out. This call for a big pot of stew and cornbread or chicken and dumplings. They can make you feel so warm and fuzzy. Try using flour tortillas for you dumplings, it give a great Southwestern take on it. All you snowed in folks stay warm and make up a big pot of your favorite whatever.
For the flour tortilla dumpling boil 3 boneless chicken breast until tender. While chicken is cooking, slice 14 ounce burrito size tortillas with a sharp knife 5 slices across and one slice through the middle, Shredd chicken with fork or cube. Place chicken in boiling chicken broth and add 2- 10 1/2 oounce cans of cream of chicken soup, 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Add tortilla strips. Do not stir, you can pat top of dumplings to move around with spoon. Boil on med/high heat for 12 minutes. Remove from heat and add 1 cup of milk and move dumplings gently around to mix the milk.
This will warm you up on a cold winter day! Enjoy.

I like to make soups or stews, because they're good, the boiling helps put some moisture back into the air, they can last for days, and... they're good! I also like to bake bread.. goes well with the former and having the oven helps keep the kitchen warm.

I go for comfort food, definitely. Anything heavy and warm and filling. Here's one of my favorite recipes, adapted from here:
http://www.recipezaar.com/Pan-Fried-Tofu-with-Spicy-Peanut-Sauce-69191
- The tofu part doesn't matter -- you can use chicken, for instance, or eggplant, or throw some vegetables in. The only difference is that without the cornstarch, the sauce will be a lot thinner, kind of soup-like. I actually prefer it this way, especially when it's cold out.
- I usually cut back on the oil and just use spray instead. Peanut oil could also work, but I don't have any in my kitchen.
- Don't use ketchup! That's just gross. Chili sauce works great, and a little goes a long way. You don't even need the flakes if you do.

We don't get snowed in here, but we do get rained in. Seriously, it rained so hard week before last that the streets were flooded and it was not safe to drive.
I find myself instinctively diving into the reserves in the cupboard when this happens. Canned chili, canned soup, and canned ravioli all seem appropriate, somehow, in this mini crisis. This is especially true if I am low on milk and eggs because I haven't thought to run to the store before the storm hit.
We always keep a reserve of a month's worth of food in canned goods, in the pantry. We rotate through it so it doesn't get old. We live in the desert, so we also rotate our drinking water -- filling 2 liter soda bottles and putting the newest in the store and the oldest into the fridge. Most people know all this, but if you are unfamiliar with stocking up for emergencies, FEMA has helpful pointers.

Whatever I was going to cook that day stands. I usually do cook comfort foods in the winter as it makes you feel better. The stews and the soups do keep you going and add moisture to the house. Try making minestrone from scratch it slow simmers for 6-7 hours and they make a closed up house smell good too.

I love this Asian food! La Paz Batchoy
It's really delectable and would really warm you during cold months. I can't get enough of it. It's best served when it's really hot and with black pepper powder and a chili pepper. I'm craving for this now while giving you this picture.

And it's best served with rice cakes.
