Are you watching "The Trigger Effect"? Elisabeth Shue looks great in it!

It would be the best thing to happen to this country in the long run. If no one could not access social media for a month. Give things a little reset..

I'd rather it in January. You got fire and body heat. Plus, all the food in the freezer could be put outside.. Hopefully it would be a cold enough winter to keep it from going bad.

We always have at least 40 gallons of fresh water in the house at all times. Plus we have purifiers, life stick water filters, a Coleman stove, etc., etc. We're good for a month, easy.

Anything north of I-80 would be a disaster in January

For Laura I didn’t have power for a month, and I was bathing in the river.

Sucks when it’s hot and humid though.

Would last 2 people about 3 weeks, just drinking.

Assuming normal temps and no overexhertion

If there is an end in site, most could make it a month. No end in sight, there would be anarchy.

Time of year depends on where you live. Being in Louisiana; I would prefer January. Sure, it could be cold but most likely nothing major that lots of blankets couldn’t help with. July will be hot even on a below average day and that means needing even more water to replace what you lose when sweating.

That's tough. Without AC or cooling, a gallon a day per person probably isn't enough to stay hydrated for a month. Not in South Louisiana anyway. I remember being out a few days after Ida. It was brutal.
