Good morning n’@!
FRANKENSTORM on the way!!! No seriously...this is looking not so good for the Ohio Valley/Aappalachians. The east coast is going to get absolutely pounded (I 95 corridor). We are located at the vortex of Sandy (that will do the coastal damage) but he second system—coming from Canada (across the very warm Great Lakes) “met” at ton of moisture and cold air. Heavy wet snow. Power outages will be our worry (but hopefully we all are a little prepped—me waaaay behind the rest of Yinz—but still think we can weather (pun!) a week w/o power). Going buy extra PB, crackers, non perishables that don’t require any heating.
The caller Jim had going back to Robespierre was good—wish he had more time to let him talk longer.
We’re ready. Got extra propane tanks (gas grill sized) for our propane heater. Got oil lamps and lamp oil. Got canned food and a gas stove so we can still cook. We got water. And the most important thing; We got COFFEE - and a way to make it sans electric coffee maker! We’re good to go!
Yup we’re stovking up too although I’m still not completely sold it will be as bad as some wx reports claim. Accuweather has no prediction of snow although a couple of days ago they did.
Last I checked we had at least two weeks of normal food supplies and a month of emergency stuff. Not bad for an apartment! Still want more though and some bug out gear to load thee supplies into the truck.
