Preparing for a Winter Storm...

[CW&M Mom]

There was an article, awhile back, that took a poll, and most store owners, said that people started getting really nasty.. when they ran out of.. can you guess? Coke or pepsi!! lol
I'm so homesick and ready to trade places, w/ anyone w/ snow!! lol
when i lived in nc, in a log cabin, as long as i had food, cat food,
(which I did run out of , once and had to hitchhike, down the mtn.. its Always on the list now!! lol)
firewood, candles, Books!!, i was good.
I'd definately 2n'd chocolate!!
CAffine!, shovel, salt, lots of water, tuna, soup, all the stuff, in case the electric goes out..and sugar!!! lol
...
true, its worse, when the rain hits, beautiful icestorms.. but not great for the trees, but fun, to go find free firewood!!.. If one can get out!..
..
crazy they don't have snowplows, in ks!

Oh they have them...not to mention any kind of tractor, moover you name it.

They just don't use it on the snow .

Many years ago 33 to be exact we had a blizzard on new years eve. I had been scrimping on groceries to buy Christmas so we were out of a lot of things. We also had company so their were extra people to feed. Since then I always stock up on flour. You can make rolls, pancakes , biscuit etc. Things that will cover any meal. I also buy a big turkey at Thanksgiving and put it in the freezer. That gives you one nice meal plus leftovers. I keep tuna, peanut butter, crackers and COFFEE.

I just was watching the news and was wondering if any of our hcw family were caught in the tornado that wiped out a bunch of houses or the floods back east? Hope everyones ok.

I am not one to run out and do any last minute shopping in any weather. However most people here in Germany go out at the meer mention of a storm of any type and buy everything! Its not uncommon for bread and milk to run out on an average day since everything here has to be shipped & then trucked to our store.

We have had about 15 inches of snow since this afternoon and its now 8pm. We are moving to Alaska in 58 days so I guess this will be good practice.
