Charged the snowblower batteries to clear a way out if needed and made sure the pickup had a full tank of gas. We have plenty of shelf stable food and bottled water.
We don’t have a backup power plan if that goes out but the house is large enough it will take quite a while to get to an unsafe temp. The house’s lower floor is in a hillI slope and the storm shelter/shop never dips below 50 F so I’m pretty confident that the lower floor won’t go any lower than that but we can relocate if needed.
If we were in a more rural area I would have had backup power arrangements, but we have only lost power for more than an hour twice in the last 15 years and only one of those was for over four hours where we had to think about tossing stuff from the fridge.
