Your Family:
Shop early and shop smart. Definitely pick up hot chocolate with mini-marshmallows, but also make sure you have easy-to-eat foods on hand in case the power goes out.
Buy some “hot hands” or other hand and feet warmers.
Keep your cell phones and other devices charged in case of a power outage.
Check in on family members outside your home to make sure they are okay.
Have extra water on hand just in case. (Filling up a bathtub or some big pots works.)
Get blankets, fuzzy socks and fun layers ready in case the heat goes out. Mittens are warmer than gloves. Wear a hat to keep your whole body warmer. A warm neck helps too, so remember to wrap up in a scarf!
Co-sleep if the power goes out!
Have flashlights, candles, and books on hand to read if the power goes out.
Heat up a blanket or towel in the dryer and snuggle up if you have power. Watch the flakes fall and talk about fun times in the snow.
