    Canned foods, candles, and battery flashlights. What happens when power goes out for an extended period of time and there's no refrigeration or heat?
    Refrigeration will not be a problem methinks........:laugh: :laugh:

    Everyone jokes about this but I did some prepping for our last snowstorm and I was glad I did. We got 12 inches of snow on the front side of the arctic cyclone that dropped temps into the -20s. That is VERY uncommon for our area. We had no water for 3 days and travel advisories making roads closed for 2 of those days. Thousands of people had no power and were snowed in their homes for 3 days. I know my family of 3 wouldn't have survived on the half-gallon of milk in the fridge.

    4 day weekend's aren't so fun when you are using bottled water to brush your teeth and wash your face and armpits.

    Wow. I can't imagine. I am SUCH a sunshine person and a total wuss in the cold (unless I am skiing!) Be safe! As for me....

    They just upped it to 18-24 inches of snow. Me thinks we are going to get SLAMMED.

    I salted my porch last night- and brought my shovel in- I have enough sewing to keep me busy for days.

    I think my only issues I have no idea where my candles are because I think my BF threw most of them out in my recent move.

    Whatever- I don't need to be up at night. I did all my food shopping Sunday so I'm set. I may have to eat the ice cream if my fridge goes out..

    oh wait- no no I don't... I can put it in the snow. :D

    I also have gas- so I'm not stressed about food. WOOT. Feeling good about this one!!!

    Don't forget the eggs!!

    Apparently everyone makes French Toast in a snow storm!!

    Me? I head to the liquor store, order some Chinese food .. and wait it out! haha
    A couple of 6-packs and some Doritos is all you need for a blizzard.

    all of the above-and wine

    people use bbq's inside and die of carbon monoxide poisoning like in Toronto's ice storm a bit ago

    duh :frown: :frown: :frown: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

    or you go to a designated warm up zone

    No bread and milk. Rice cakes and soy milk. And a Playboy for the power outage

    Its a rule. You must purchase blizzard specific products precisely 45 minutes before the first flake falls. Bread, milk, beer and chips should get you through. A generator is an added bonus, gotta keep the cell phone charged to keep everyone on FB up to date on your current snowfall level complete with pics! LOL

    No MORE snoooooowwwww!
    Really coming down out there now.
    We have a good 4-5 inches so far...kids had 1/2 day yesterday and today and they might as well call state the obvious and close school tomorrow
    :sad: :sad:

    Oh and I hit shoprite at least 2-3x a week..they pretty much expect me every few days
