back to the bad weather to do list

current events· home sweet home· life in the country

Well, here it comes again, snow, sleet, ice. My Tackle today is to get ready for it.Living on a farm means teamwork.

We still have plenty of wood split but it needs to be stacked on the porches to stay dry. Then of course we need to take inventory of the pantry, and probably the freezer.

The last thing anything anyone wants is to not eat good when you are snowed or iced in.

And of course we need to prepare for the possibility of losing power. It happens often around here.

so here is my check list, can’t wait to see those checkmarks

  • stock wood in dry places
  • get weeks worth of hay from the barn and put it in a handy place
  • make sure we have enough kerosene for oil lamps
  • make sure batteries and phones are charged
  • make sure we have coffee and chocolate
  • take out turkey from freezer to thaw
  • make sure we have staples flour, sugar, oatmeal
  • convince that cow she needs to give more milk
  • do laundry ahead in case it freezes again
  • update the netflix queue
  • since it is getting near the end of winter things like gloves and hats need to be re-found
  • hhmm, go back over old lists

so how do you prepare for yucky weather?

  1. Penny,
    Love the “coffee and chocolate”, that would be high on my list too! Because we are in an apartment, the biggest thing to do is make sure I have enough milk (my 14yo could drink 2 gallons a day himself), and know where the shovels are.
    I usually make a trip to the grocery store at least a day or two before the storm, so we don’t have to go anywhere.

    Be safe in the storm!
