Here in Calgary, it's still snowing, white blanket remains from a week ago. What a difference in weather between our locations. Keep safe, stay indoors, let us know how you make out.

You can never have too much water in this kind of storm, and putting a LOT in the tub is a lot better than a little bit. <br />One reason cities tell you to stock up on drinking water is if the pipes break or there's damage to the city storage supply, you won't be able to drink it. <br /><br />So get a gallon or so and stash it somewhere in the kitchen. <br /><br />Take care of yourself, these things don't last long, but while they do they are often memorable...mittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04878611591683283429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905003879789876177.post-77357075667072711432012-10-29T03:22:30.249-04:002012-10-29T03:22:30.249-04:00Glad to see you are prepared.

One bathtub has grey water for flushing.<br /><br />And I have neighbors with tons of bottled water, all dying to take care of my needs! this is good.<br /><br />At this point, the NY stock exchange is closed tomorrow, all the local colleges and unis, too, all the libraries, my house remains open, however.Boudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00641013916263271948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905003879789876177.post-13671082562898668442012-10-28T20:17:37.044-04:002012-10-28T20:17:37.044-04:00Liz, depending on your situation, you might want t...Liz, depending on your situation, you might want to fill your bathtub with water. It is handy for flushing if the tap water gets cut off.<br /><br />I have a well and if the power goes out that is vital for me. And it sounds like you are on city water, so it may not be a problem.<br /><br />But that is one of those things that I prefer being safe about. Lack of modern plumbing keeps me from ever truly longing for time travel.Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07529961044790691589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905003879789876177.post-22418515690188087952012-10-28T20:12:00.580-04:002012-10-28T20:12:00.580-04:00Good to hear you are well prepared and have helpfu...Good to hear you are well prepared and have helpful neighbours. Was wondering about you and watching the news. Hard to tell sometimes how much is legit and how much is hype. Best to be prepared. We'll probably get the edge of the wind and rain up here. Mind you its been an amazingly colourful Fall but the wind will put paid to the last of the leaves. Here's hoping you all survive OK. Good Luck !dogonarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039309898163644561noreply@blogger.com
