Preparing for Single Digit Temps and Snow This Weekend

The temperatures this weekend will be mostly in the single digits and accompanied by several inches of snow. 

Here's how I prepared:

• Did all upcoming planned activities yesterday and today.   Donated clothing and books.   Did my  my medical lab tests for next weeks procedure.  Filled up both cars with gas.
• Did routine outdoor house maintenance ahead of the snow.   Drained the water collecting in the radon system.  Added chemicals to the outdoor hot tub. 
• Prepped the snow blower to be ready for continuous use this weekend.
• Determined we had sufficient food and water in case snowed in for a few days. 
• Prepared vehicles for driving in extremely snowy weather with brushes for snow removal and traction mats.

Although we were planning to go skiing this weekend at a nearby ski resort, we will probably pass dues to extremely low temperatures (single digits or even negative wind chill) and about of foot of expected snow.   No need to risk driving, when we will still be around next week to enjoy the new snow on the slopes.

Hopefully, we will avoid any power outages.
