It hasn't started here yet, but I topped off the pantry at the grocery store on Tuesday and made sure to grab some stuff I could eat in case the power goes out. All my appliances are electric so that's what I'm most preparing for.
It's supposed to drop to single digits Sunday and Monday and with no power, I can't run the furnace. So this is gonna be fun. I've been wrapping towels around pipes since Thursday afternoon and coming up with a plan to stay warm and fed. So I've basically been meal-prepping all morning.
S/O is with family this weekend so it's just me and the dogs.
