We got snow at the one point in the week where snow was not forecast. Now we may or may not get a major storm on Friday. In any case I am stocking up on foods.

I broke into some of my back up supplies last night because my area was a sheet of ice. I had other food, but nothing that went together. I had like olives, chicken, chocolate, etc. So I broke out the baked beans I keep at the back of the cupboard as emergency food to eat with the chicken. It's good to rotate that stuff anyway.

Backup supplies are a thing! I actually bought an Earthquake bag last year, but I try to keep canned goods and whatnot around as well. That kind of went by the wayside due to lack of room in the apartment. It's probably something I should start up again.

By Friday, no doubt!

I used to keep a lot more emergency supplies around, but I do have water and beans. As for flashlights, does my cell phone count? The one I had I threw out because the battery burst. I also had some of those 'kinetic, good for life, never needs a battery' ones and also a kinetic camping lamp. All stopped working after about 2 years.

Good luck with the weather!

We keep hurricane/tornado supplies and yes, it's good to rotate them.

Thanks. We are expecting between 1 and 16 inches.
