The snow and the ice

Well, we are being hit by a huge storm . Are you? It's crazy, tons of snow and ice to come. We will certainly be trapped in the house for a while. We are stocked up on safe food, water, batteries, etc. My hope is that the power stays on because I know that it will get cold fast and we are stuck here. The roads are awful.
Of course the kids think it's great. I keep reminding them that the days will need to be made up.
How is the weather by you? What precautions do you take in extreme weather?
Stay safe everyone!
