Branches. If you haven’t gotten around to pruning the ones overhanging your driveway, over your house or even wires it isn’t too late to call someone to safely take those down.
It is also necessary to check to make sure your house number is visible on the front of your house or on the mailbox and post.
It is important to make sure you still have enough of salt left to salt the walk, for the cars wiper fluid, kitty litter for the trunk, and a little bit more gas than usual in the cars.
It is still important to make sure you have enough of provisions in your kitchen pantry. Don’t forget medicines, too. If you have pets check their food provisions, too. During an ice storm no one should be going out unless, it is an emergency.
Now is also a good time, while the weather is being civil to most of us here in the US to check for things like leaks in pipes making sure nothing has been damaged during some of the very cold snaps we have had, and since the furnace has been running probably, a lot more lately due to those colder than usual temps maybe, a good time to pop in a new furnace filter or clean the existing one.
All of these things can make life a lot easier while we are stuck inside making the most of a bad time with the weather. Do not take it for granted, it can change yet, very quickly for sometime yet.
