BE PREPARED!!

My weather app said it would snow Wednesday-Thursday with the sun coming out at noon. Plenty of time get snow photos, the roads to clear, and to be back home Friday afternoon.

The water pipes froze Tuesday night. I started using bottled water to "flush" the toilet.

Almost out of water Friday morning. Melted a bowl of snow - yield 1/4 cup. Still snowing.

Need to buy jugs of water and snow shovel. Dug out with a plastic cutting board. Backed out, made it to the corner (30 feet) and then saw this hill. Umm. NO WAY!! Turned around and went back. But I did find two more bottles of water in the car!!

Now that's being prepared!!
