Couldn't plow out of it.

By the 4th day some of the women on the street were starting to get cabin fever and crying and getting agitated. They felt trapped and enclosed.

Imagine what years of war would do.
Bombings, deaths, injuries, shortages, deprivation, snipers.
Trapped in the house with no power, food shortages, etc.

People start losing their minds.
