The only thing I would add is get slip-on ice cleats for your shoes. They work well when you shouldn’t be out.
Here in WNC, very little snow is expected but we don’t know how much ice we might get. My son helped me get some firewood in and we have plenty of water, so I think we are ready for no power. The little county we live in has the best road crews and the best electric co-op of anywhere I have ever lived. I’m very thankful for that!
