Preparing for the winter storm

Our first 2014 snow.

With the weather due to change from the 60 degrees we had a couple of days ago, to a "catastrophic event" of a foot of snow and ice, we have been making preparations. 

If there's a power outage, wells don't pump. We are on a community well. That means no water. So we got gallon jugs of water to have for coffee and large containers filled to use for flushing the toilets if needed.
