We are going to get ice and snow this weekend. Along with a lot of the country.
I've had the same conversation with M's mom about this. She is convinced if we lose power we will freeze and stave to death. I told her I bought some stuff to eat and we just have to not eat it before then. The last time I bought shelf stable items the granola bars and stuff were gone for the reason we needed them happened . We have blankets and clothes where it won't be comfortable but we will get by the power goes off
After the third time she told me about the storm and asked what we will do I wrote it all down and taped it on her wall
I kind of worry about dementia but then I remember she spends most of the time stoned out of her mind.
