This is the winter storm that I knew would show up
at some point cause we haven't had 1 like this in a
long time here since we moved to Indiana in 08
& we got 4 ft of it that year, so now we have this 1.
We're ready for it, we keep up with things like this
a week ahead of time so we can get prepared
we look at what's coming a week behind what
the weather forecasters are showing on the maps.
So that way we have plenty of time to get what
we need B-4 every 1 goes into panic mode
the car is full of gas, we have plenty of food &
plenty of salt to melt the snow, hope your ready.

Supposedly, the apartment complex will salt our sidewalks, but I’m ready in every other way. I’ve got a charged light, power banks, bottled water, human food, pet food, and medicine. Anything else, I’ll be okay. The city has already pretreated the roads, and will be out again first thing in the morning. Now, getting out of the parking lot might be tough, but I’m in an SUV so my odds are higher than the little car parked next to mine right now that I can.

@AmbiePam That works do you have a full tank of gas
cause you may have to keep warm in the car a few days.

"will be out again first thing in the morning"
do you have stuff in the car in case you get stuck somewhere
like some extra blankets & hand heating pads & some dry
foods you can eat, most people don't think of them things.1 person likes this

that's not good, you are in a bad way
when you don't have extra propane tanks, if
we had to have it I would get extra B-4 winter
gets here & not use them till we needed them
just for winter & nothing else to have on hand.1 person likes this

@kaylachan When we get up in age & our health
catches up with us we have to be prepared as
much as we can not just for the weather but for our
health & sanity.

@Ineeddentures Yes it is, but that's hard to do if your
not prepared for the harsh hard cold weather & wait
till the last few days or the day of the weather.

I learned back in fla with all the
hurricanes I lived through to prepare early & for
the winters to get enough wood to last the season.

I wish we had 1 that is attached to 1 of our places
so when we get this kind of weather it comes on
automatically, But we don't & the trailer wasn't built to
have 1 but I might could see if the cabin could have 1.

@2ndchances24 It comes in handy now that my husband is gone. I have a fireplace but no wood.

@LindaOHio Do you have a place to buy wood
or someone who cuts wood that you could get
enough to keep the place warm & save some $.

I'm sure glad that I can get prepared, I don't relax or
be at peace if I'm not, I don't like not being prepared.
