[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In case electricity goes -
- I have a gas stove and gas fireplace. I also have matchsticks.  
- Food will not spoil because I can keep it outside in the patio in the snow. 
- I have an unused bathroom in the basement.  Any kind of storm in any season, I just fill the [b]bathtub with water[/b].  I can always use that water to flush toilets and boil and drink if needed.   With a snowstorm...you can always melt snow and drink. 
- I always have a stocked pantry because I buy my shelf stable grains, flours, spices, lentils, tea, sugar, oil in large quantities.  I also have a cold storage in the basement that has my onions and root veggies.   
-  All my prescriptions are filled and up to date.  
[b]

If you are super nervous and want to prep at all[/b] -
- Get your prescriptions filled (or make sure you will not run out during the storm and digging out)
- Buy some drinking water.  Fill a tub with water. Make sure you have food for a week.
- Fill gas in all your vehicles and snow blower. 
- Charge all your devices and powerbanks.  Charge your tire-inflator etc. 
- Unplug appliances that you do not need in case of an electric surge etc.  I always unplug the  TV in my basement, games console, music system, electric piano, treadmill etc. 
- Buy some candles, matchsticks and torch (with batteries). [/quote]

Why are you filling a bathtub with water? Are you expecting the water supply to stop?[/quote]

Water company loses power. We lose fresh water. Roaming gangs wander the streets looking to kill for water. Society collapses and we plunge into an ice age. That’s what I hear the weather man say. [/quote]

This! Then the killer robots come out. I’m not even joking. 🙃 [/quote]

Nah. MoCo got rid of their killer robot. I expect Tesla full self driving to achieve sentience and hoard electricity. [/quote]

It'll be too cold for that to happen for the rest of January.[/quote]
