Another snow storm heading my way....

January 16th, 2008 at 05:47 pm

So, I guess I need to go out and get a few stock up items. Which seems silly, when we have plenty of food, but I need to get items that are fireplace/grill friendly should the electric go out again.

Right now it is raining. The temp is to drop and then around 4 snow is to start. If it is just snow, we are ok, but it is the rain that concerns me. This is how the last "big one" in December started. The rain took down a large number of power lines.

I have everything on chargers now, cell phones, lanterns, weather radio, and the tractors and bobcat are plugged in. Before, we had to use one to dig our way out with, and of course we will have to feed hay. If we get them all plugged and well charged, hopefully one will start!

Will need to get milk, small packages of ground beef (easy to do chili, shephards pie..over the fire or in the cast iron), potatoes, buns, bread, and probably a few cans of soup. Probably won't hurt to get a little more lamp oil also.

Also, I need to start laundry. Last time we would of run out of some clothes if the laundry had not been caught up, which means several loads back to back, so I will have to use the dryer.

    Good luck on preparing for the storm! I'd like to have a little snow here - not much but enough to oooo and ahhh over for a few days. Smile I doubt that it will happen, though!

    At least you know to prepare!

    Thanks for the reminders. Cell phone now on charger! I restocked my lamp oil the other day.

    Yeah, the weather is suppose to get slightly nasty for us tomorrow. Sleet possible.

    I guess if I was smart, I'd probably go out and stock up a little bit too. On the other hand, the forecasters say that it shouldn't last but only a day.

    I hope they're right, but I guess I better stock up anyway, just to be sure.
