Fill containers with water. You have tap water now so use it before you have to use prepped water. Make sure your tech stuff is charged, flashlights are charged and place extra batteries nearby and set out candles and matches. Make sure your outside water faucets are insulated. Get the dishes and laundry done before the ice hits. Doesn’t hurt to clean the bathroom and kitchen so you don’t have gunk and germs to deal with. Cook whatever can be eaten cold the next. Bake up some cookies or a cake because those can be eaten at room temperature.
Fill up the freezer with jugs of water now so they’ll be frozen to help keep the cold if the power goes. Keep the fridge and freezer closed when the power goes. Day 1 is ice cream day! Day two, eat whatever is perishable in the fridge. Day 3 use the grill to cook up whatever is thawing in the freezer such as meat.
Yer killin me.
I heard people on the radio worrying about food spoiling with no power. Take a look outside. Go under any tree and scoop up infinite buckets of chipped ice.
Put it in your cooler.
Very helpful information. Thanks for posting!
I might add, make sure you have access to radio—battery opp. to keep up with news and weather info in the event that cell towers are affected.
