We are getting this same storm, We still have lots of snow now from the storm the other day. Drive way is a mess. We went and stocked up on Grocerys , water, candles and I have my oil lamps filled and ready to use.
Our water has been only coming on for a few hours every day, for over a week now. so when it does we rush to refill water containers, flush toilets and clean. Shower and all that good stuff before it goes out again. I guess its been so cold that our Water pump freezes and dont come on again untill the warmest part of the day. Today its warmer and its been on all day So I caught up on Laundry took a nice hot bubble bath, gave the dogs a bath and Made a huge pot of Chili and a jug of Iced tea. So I guess we are ready. Year before last we had a bad ice storm The electric was off for over a week in some places , Ours was off 4 days, Our oven runs off of Propane so we still had heat from that, a Lot of our neighbors lived in their vans just to stay warm, we offered them to stay with us, but they didnt. It was Christmas and I was able to cook the whole dinner and we ate off paper plates. so we had it a lot better then most. We might get stranded, but we will have some heat.Both my daughters calle dto day and asked if me hubby and the dogs wated to stay with them. I said No. Because if the electric does go off we will have some heat and they wont because theirs is all electric, I told them they would be better off coming out here to the country with us.
Stay safe and try and stay warm everyone. |
