Another thing to do before a storm…

Another thing to do before a storm…
fill the coffee pot reservoir with water. Why, because when you live in the country you are on a well and when you don’t have power you don’t have water. So filling the coffee pot reservoir with water assures a fresh pot of coffee in the morning.
“Wait” you are saying “How can you make coffee when the power is out?” Hey we aren’t totally primitive. We have a generator. Sure the well isn’t on it, nor is the heater, but we can hook up important things like the refrigerator so we don’t lose any food and the microwave if we want to cook anything and of course that coffee pot. Heck... we also run electric heaters on the generator and the TV if cable isn’t out. And if my lap top needs a charge, I plug it in the generator and charge it up. Last year during the blizzard we watched movies on my lap top.

Latest on the storm, looks like that north south line has moved upwards and we might not get a lot of snow after all. Regardless the roads will be an icy mess and I’ll be safely happily at home, sewing I hope.
