If you have a power outage that is projected to last more than a day, your freezer contents will start to go bad. So if there is a lot of snow on the ground and freezing temps outside, bury your most expensive or hard-to-replace freezer contents in sealed containers in a snow bank, and set up some kind of barriers around the pile to keep critters off (we have deer, bird and fox marauders). I saved half a dozen crab cakes and some steaks that way last time.
