KC Metro area: We are ready for what they have referred to on FaceBook as “Snowmageddon.” Groceries stocked, hatches battened. I only really fear a power outage. City living and no fireplace. Ice storm of 2002 took my household out for five days. It’s only fun the first few hours and then it gets really tedious. The weather reporters here are beside themselves with excitement.

When the NWS put up the winter storm warnings up early today, I knew we were going to get screwed.

It was sunny here all day and I did all my running around. I’m all stocked up with perishables. I sure hope mr. mm has enough gas for OUR generator.

And the globalwarming blower.

Home Depot now sells a great kerosene heater for indoors, range about $140. We have all electric house, with a fireplace insert, in which I can put a grill and cook if necessary.

When I know there is a storm such as this, I cook up some things that only will take a little heating, soups, baked potato's, etc.

We bought that kerosene heater just in case the electricity went out, works great. One fill up lasts about 8 hours.

Hope your power does not go out.

Stay warm and safe.....that goes for all Freepers - and their loved ones and pets - in the path of this wicked weather.
