We are looking at 4-8" of snow here in the Bangor area, Monday into Tuesday. We already have well over a foot on the ground. I'm so over winter, but I'll take snow any day rather than ice.
If you are stocking up on food, remember to consider your cooking options if the power is out. Eggs/french toast won't do you any good if there's no way to cook it. Some things I've learned is to have coolers ready; if the power goes out, move your fridge perishables to the coolers and set them outside. There is often enough insulation from the cooler to keep things like milk, cheese, and veggies from freezing. If you are on a well, fill your tubs with water so you can "flush" the toilet if the power goes out. Do your laundry, make sure there are no dirty dishes in the dishwasher. If you have a propane grill, remember that you can boil water on it and then make coffee via the old fashioned drip method. (Obviously you can use the grill for cooking, too.) We would have lost our minds if we couldn't make coffee during the week we were without power!
