I am in NE Oklahoma and it looks like we are in for the worst of the worst. The weather people have just issued a blizzard warning. I am ready. I just finished cutting firewood, made sure I have fuel for the generator. The firewood is stacked in the house, the generator and fuel are on the porch under cover, I have kerosene for the kerosene heater. Plenty of dog and people food. filled the tub with water for the toilet. Checked the propane, batteries, and fuel for the oil lamps. Things have been different since my husband passed away but I have learned to survive on my own. I was really proud of myself when I learned to use the chainsaw. I cut the wood in to smaller logs to make it easier to handle. We seldom get more than a few inches' so 10 to 15 inches will bring us to a complete standstill. I work part-time as a cashier at a Supercenter Walmart. Yesterday at Walmart was crazy. It felt more like Christmas than a Sunday, I'm off for the next few days. I plan to just burrow in and stay put. My phone, computer, and other means of communication are all ready. So bring it on Mother Nature, I'm ready.
