Big storm coming

The NWS is forecasting a big storm for us starting tonight and running into Tuesday afternoon!
Not just snow, but also sleet and freezing rain. There is a possibility of a half-inch of ice on branches, plus high winds - which could result in downed power lines. So we are preparing as best we can for a power outage. We have a wood stove and lots of wood, plus a propane fireplace insert that does not require electricity, so we can keep warm. We can cook on the woodstove, plus we have a propane camp stove. We have lots of candles. Food can be stored outside on the deck unless it is either too warm or too cold. I've filled pots and pans and buckets with water, but that only lasts a short while. So we are sort of prepared for a day-long or even two-day outage, but if it goes on longer, it starts getting a bit dicey. We'll see!
