Oh, I am freaked out. This is my winter in new england. We are on the shoreline ct. They said we might get 18-24 inches of snow. Is that enough for power to go out? Will they plow the roads DH is military and has to work Saturday? How do I prepare? Sorry if this sounds dumb. I am from the deep south never seen more than flurries in my life.

You need a generator and gas. And plenty of warm blankets and easy to make food. Candles and flashlights. And some good books to pass time.

If your on a military base you will be in the first to get electricity back. We live in a mountain area, we have to have a whole house generator, if we don't we could be living amish for weeks lol.

I'm in north western CT and we are only expecting about a foot as of right now. That's not a big deal to me... I just hope we don't lose power because the would suck. I'm a little scared for the people closer to the east though, you guys are in for it!!! Stay safe!
I'll never forget a few years ago when we got over 2 feet of snow and the madness that came with it. I need to find my pictures of my car literally being buried. The snow was up over the hood. There was so much that dd couldn't even Play outside because the snow was too deep for her to walk in, and this time we're expecting even more!!
