I've started making ice in case the power goes out so we can pack the fridge contents in coolers. The stuff in the freezer (as we learned after last year's Snowtober storm) can last two days or maybe even more. Also, I'm thinking we'd better make sure we exchange any empty propane tanks for full ones. Hm, and I should throw a tarp over the bit of firewood we have from last year so we can use the woodstove if it gets really cold. I'm glad this isn't scheduled to hit us till the very end of the weekend so we have enough time to really prep!
The supermarkets are going to be INSANE. I'm not going anywhere near them tonight; everyone will be stopping by on the way home from work. I will go super-early tomorrow morning, though, as I usually do anyway. The regular earlybirds will be there, but other people who think they know what "early" is generally don't show up till after 7 when storms are scaring everyone into this crap.
Oh yeah, and leave the (electric) garage door open. Don't want the car trapped in there.
