- do have plenty of food to eat that does not require electricity to heat; don't try to heat soup on a candle flame.
- do have plenty of candles, flashlights and batteries available; don't attempt to build a bonfire in the living room.
- do have books, games, puzzles, craft supplies, and toys on hand to entertain the young ones in the house; don't expect them to want to do homework or practice their musical instruments.
- do have things for the grown ups do; don't attempt to re-arrange furniture or paint the rooms because your husband will grumble that he gets stuck shoveling ice AND moving furniture.
- do read a book or two; don't presume the rest of the house will want to hear about your story.
- do call the relatives on the cell phone (which you leave in constant charge); don't post a status on Facebook every twenty minutes despite your need for social contact.
- do take a nap; don't stay awake too late watching on TV re-runs (it will ruin your brain).
- do plan the spring garden; don't believe what a rodent in Pennsylvania says about the weather. Spring is always 6 weeks away from February 2nd- that's the joke!
Have fun inside folks! This stuff cannot last forever so let's bet on how soon the ice and snow will melt? 5 days? 11 days? What do you think?
