Winter Storm Warning! Prepared?

[CathyInBlue]

Got the bread and milk yesterday. Still eating home grown eggs given by family.

Actually, the one thing I forgot on my run yesterday is kind of important in this weather - kleenex. Guess I'll have to breka out the TP for the runny noses.

On any normal day we have enough canned foods, water bottles/jugs, and snacks to last four people at least three weeks. No reason for me to go to the store this evening along with everyone else and their brother.

Well I am off to the store in a few for the weekly shopping, I hope I can find a gallon of milk. My wife has to have milk and a bagel every morning. The main thing I need is dog food. Monday morning I have to drive 15 miles further from home after work for a Dr. appointment at 8:30am.I hope we don't get the 5 in. I have 5 inches of packed snow and some nice drifts in low areas now. The county still has not plowed the road I live on.

I'd be more worried about the normal Jennings Country driver than the unplowed roads. They must put something in the water down there.

Plenty of food, stocked up on firewood. And last but not least, beer and Canadian Mist.

Snow accumulations will be from 8" to 10".

Meh. That's South Bend all the time.

Meh. That's South Bend all the time.

It has been reduced to 6" in our area. Depends on who you are listening to.

All we need is beer and it is done. Ready for the football games.

Just got back from Meijer, the place wasn't even busy! The kroger here in town that we drove by to get to Meijer, was packed, but I never go there around the first of the month anyway, what with the welfare zombies and all. Anyway, we usually hit the grocery every weekend, mainly to hit the sales and use coupons, so today was no different. I did stock up on beer, and jug of rum, but did not buy bread or milk. I'm drinking a Molson right now to celebrate the Canadian type weather were gonna have.

I went and rotated one of my gas cans. Put the gas from the can (leftovers from summer) into my truck's tank and refilled can with fresh gasoline.

Made sure the chickens have plenty of food and water to get through the next few days since I'm not going to want to go out there.

That's all I plan to do.

Well, I might run an extension cord out to the block heater on my truck. Not even sure if it works, haven't plugged it in in years.

 

[littletommy]

I wanna go ice fishing, but it doesn't look like it'll stay cold long enough down here in the south. I haven't fished through the ice in years.

 

[boogieman]

I've got plenty of beer, coffee and ramen. I should be good.

 

[Curls & Swirls]

We go through a lot of milk here all the time but what better (maybe I should just say easier) thing to have on hand for the kids to eat if the elec. goes off than cold cereal. Right now I am just enjoying the fact that I have been preparing for just these kind of events. I do not like fighting the crowds of sometimes rude and frustrated people and I really hate having to get out when it is cold.

6-10" is a walk in the park for us NWI snow belt dwellers. We had 18" on the ground when I got to our house in Michigan last week.

 

[yeahbaby]

Stopped in the local CVS. Low and behold they had Stella twelve packs on sale for $11.99. Score, picked up two for games this weekend. Minestrone soup tonight, chicken and vegetables in the baking bag tomorrow. If the weather gets as bad as they are saying, on top of what we have already, maybe a snow day Monday.

 

[SnoopLoggyDog]

Just drove back from Ft Myers, Florida. Folks down South are busy trying to figure out how to stay warm. Didn't see signs of snow until Kentucky. If the daughter and I did not have to work on Monday, we would have stayed down there.

Got home this afternoon and the wife immediately ran out to the store to stock up. She said that the Meijer in Kokomo was sold out of hamburger.

 

[RH822-A]

The wife and I went to Auburn Wal-Mart last night. We drove once around the parking lot, looked at one another and said screw this mess. We did our shopping at 5:30 am this morning... no crowds.

 

[The Keymaster]

It's here...the snow is here! Time for panic.

I hate it when it snows on my french toast.

Anyone have one of those Snoopy Mugs as kids?
