Winter Preparations



Pittsburgh received several inches of rain this week, this could have very easily been several feet of snow.  I certainly learned my lesson last year about emergency preparations and having the correct supplies for winter. This weekend I want to stock up on batteries for my flashlights, headlamp and radio.

I always have enough food and bottled water in the house for several days, enough medication etc. that I do not have to worry about going out if I am snowed in.  Here is a list of my emergency home supplies:

1. Propane Heater with oxygen sensor

2. Propane Lantern with extra mantles

3. Propane Stove

4. Extra Propane Canisters

5. Flashlights

6. Batteries

7. Emergency Radio

8. Matches/Lighter

9. Rock Salt for the walkways

10. A few bottles of Cape Cod wine........ let's face it if I'm snowed in I may as well drink wine!

What are your emergency preparations like?  Am I leaving something important off of my list?

Thank you for your lovely comment.

In Australia our list would be a bit different ... we would always have water ...especially in the car! It's the heat that would get us in trouble ..
