Supposed to get up to two inches of straight ice plus snow after. Being told to prepare for a week maybe two without power.
Been prepping for a while and I think I’m ready but two solid weeks will be longest I’ve gone without power. Roads around here are pretty well taken care of but there are a lot of small back roads I have to take to get out of my place, so they should be closed for three maybe four days. So really just a test not worried except about running out of stuff to read. Still it will be interesting to really find out where I’m under prepared.
Water may turn into a pain in the ass. I have a well but the pump is electric. I have a stream too so I can get water from there and boil it on the wood stove but yeah doing that for a week sounds unfun.
If its the quantity of water you’re worried about, could you gather snow in a pot or something? Then let it melt inside or put a fire under it to clean it, that might be an option but its not one that I know much about
Not really the quantity it’s just going to suck carrying five gallon buckets back and forth to the stream. It’s only like a five minute walk but it’s also fairly shallow so it takes a couples of minutes to fill a bucket, not the end of the world but still grumble grumble grumble
