So, what did this winter storm teach me about my preps?

I think we married sisters. Mine is exactly the same. A bit of motivation was added when I had to go to work and she was still off. But she kept it toasty.[/QUOTE]

If we could just get em to split wood for us we'd be all set for life

They are absolutely the best. Spendy but run forever.

punching the outline of the door (not with your knuckles) will often break the ice up.

I believe that is from the Chuck Norris book "How to beat up Mother Nature."

I am often mistaken for Chuck.

I need to figure out how much power our heat pump would require and if we can deal with a generator for it. Low risk of power going down here -- if it does, the substation (or higher) went out.

BS...

1 box ramen noodles.. like less than $5.00..

Don't go nuts, you don't need it all at once. Do what I do and only spend like $25.00/mo. you can buy a hell of a lot of cans with coupons for $25.00. and several cases of bottled water for $25.00, that's less than a carton of smokes.

Ramen gets mentioned as a great foodstuff for long-term storage but it's high in fat. Fat can go rancid. If you're going to keep ramen make it something that you actually consume and rotate through the stock as time progresses. Also, if you don't eat ramen normally, don't waste your money on it for preps. Buy what you eat.

But you're right, its it's easy to stock up with smart shopping. Meijer is having 10 for $10, get the 11th free sale right now.
