Well let's consider the situation, your stuck at home, the fire is cozy, there's not much else to do, it's too cold to go outside and the bed does look mighty comfortable. Now nine months later should our neighbors in the Midwest and the East coast being expecting to be expecting? Well based upon the evidence I have presented here, remember the part about the bed looking all comfortable? I would say yes, there should be an increase in births at hospitals across the snow stricken parts of our country nine months from now. Is what I perceive to be real, the real truth? Should the stork begin taking vitamins now?

The belief that catastrophes such as blackouts, blizzards or other events briefly quarantining people typically result in increase births nine months later is mostly an old wives' tale. One scientific study examining hurricanes found evidence proving increased fertility rates after low-severity storm advisories

Well if the increase in baby making or attempted baby making was in fact a true statistic that might actually be a reason to live north of I-10. It wouldn't be a good enough reason for me to  move there though.
