What are you prepping for the coming winter storm

Personally, I think most (exceptions, of course) have more than enough food on hand to last a week or so. Maybe not the steak of their choice, but more than enough for sustenance.

Every year before my Mother in Law passed, my wife would spend a month or so with her. I would make it my mission to try and and use all the frozen food so I could properly defrost the kitchen freezer and the small space freezer in the garage. Usually took me well more than a week, and after that, still had another week in the kitchen pantry.

We only have a 1200 square foot 2 bedroom/1 bath house (but paid for) with a 1 car garage accounting for some of that. No way can we store 3 months of SHTF “contingency” rations. Unless I kick my daughter out and use her current room?

Freeze dried in the flat containers from 4 Patriots will slip nicely under a bed. Ours in under a guest room bed in the basement and under our granddaughters bed there.
 
SW MO, it will be 0 and -1 for this weekend, I'll be inside. Anyone ever hear about Ft. Drum and the 10th Mountain Div.? Snow caves can be almost cozy when it's -54 wind chill.

I got food, water, medicine, batteries, 2 power station, 5kw gas gen set, gas, Polaris Razor 1000 for the coming snow they are calling for and my Jeep with the F-150 4x4, pretty sure I won't be out of electric service or stranded.

However, my oldest son lives in Ft. Worth, they had a bad winter a few years ago, on the phone with him, he said they lost power and he went out and bought 3 generators as he was losing $1,000 in meat in freezers if he didn't get electric up and running.
He was on speaker phone with his daughters and wife in the room. He was telling me how he had to wire everything up tohis freezers going. Then I said - Why didn't you just carry the meat outside and put it in your outdoor kitchen bar?
There was dead silence, then the girls started laughing!

when it's below 25 degrees outside and wind chill in the teens and the electricity goes out, just put all your fridge belongings in some totes and put them outside. the outside air temp is colder than the freezer and fridge. you wont lose a thing. work smarter, not harder :)
