If you haven't already, it's time to stock up on all the essential storm gear.  Here's our Snow Storm Emergency Preparedness Kit.  

NOAA Radio - We like the Midland HH50.  It's compact and versatile.  Most importantly, it has a standby mode that automatically switches to channels with updates.

Candles - The Triwick burns for at least 120 hours.  It's hot enough to boil water on and creates an astonishing amount of light.  Contains wicks, grills and matches in a safe metal can.

Food - Datrex 3600 calorie bars are great to have in any emergency kit.  They're compact, nutritionally fortified and they taste good.  Make sure you have shelf-stable food you don't need to cook.

Water - Water is always the most important item to survival.  If you don't already have 3 gallons of water stocked per person in your house, get it now.

Blankets - It's gonna be cold.  Make sure you've got warm clothes, sleeping bags or something to wrap up in when the temperature drops.

Propane Heater - The Mr.Heater is a great, compact heater.  It's got a sensor that shuts off when oxygen levels get low.  And it runs on easy-to-store propane.

Cash - Because when telecomm goes down, you won't be able to use your card.

Lantern - The eGear 30 day lantern is a super bright, super effeciant lantern.  It blasts 300 lumens in the high setting and will last 30 days in the low setting.

Comfort - For when things get scary/lonely/boring.

Entertainment - To be mixed responsibly with the above item.
