That depends on how widespread the snow fall is. If it's only in the surrounding area they will be fine. If it is worldwide then they are
all screwed. Given that power went out they may have no clue as to how widespread the deadfall (my name for deadly snow) is.

If you watch the trailer I posted you will see the aliens at the end.
Though I suppose that may not be the only aliens as those looked more
like living tanks than the sort of aliens that you would expect to
carry out such an attack.
One of the comments at IMDB says that the dubbed version of this show is >>> NOT very good so that you are better off with the subtitled version.

Like I posted in the other post the English dub wasn't that good in
the trailer. Though I will say the voice actors towards the end of the trailer did seem to do a better job. The first voice actors just
didn't do a good job of selling me on them being in this situation.
More like a cold reading from someone with little experience.

they've already committed to Season 2. That's a lot quicker than the norm.
I'm also a little surprised that they are going to end it with Season 2. Usually, given a hot show, networks try to prolong them as long as
possible to get the maximum amount of money and viewers out of them.
Kudos to the network for examining the story and realizing it shouldn't
be stretched beyond that second season.

Well, the article quotes the creative team saying that about 14
episodes is all they need to tell the story. So it seems to have been
their decision, not Netflix's. And if all they want to do is tell the
story from the graphic novel, it's probably a good idea not to try to
create new material.
