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.

Been working on making this place self sufficient for years, so I got most of that covered. Not on city water but it is an electric well pump so kinda sol there, but it does mean a septic system so that’s good. Got almost five cords of wood as that’s my primary heat any way. Right now running around filling as many containers as I can with water and getting food cooked that I can easily reheat on the wood stove.

If you think of anything else though let me know there’s always shit I forget.
