With all news outlets reporting snow amounts of 6-9 inches and bitter cold the next few days in NW Ohio, what have you done to prepare for the storm? I have been bringing firewood into the garage and have made sure I have plenty of fuel for my generator...........Mrs. RM went to Lima yesterday to stock up on necessities and we've talked to our neighbors to let them know that the fire will be burning brightly just in case power is lost...........what else?

Bought a 30 pack of Keystone Light.

Stocked up on beer and made sure we at least have enough food til Wednesday. And now with level 3s in both Paulding and Defiance counties, I'm officially going nowhere til then.

1. Went to Mass Saturday night instead of Sunday morning.

After Mass performed the following steps:
1. Grocery store- got the essentials. Milk, coffee, bread, eggs and whatever else the wife got.
2. Stopped by the gas station- topped off the van and filled up the gas can. I had emptied the gas can earlier in the day into the generator.
3. Bought a case of Budweiser.
4. Secured the dog kennel with some extra blankets/etc.

By far the most important step involved the Budweiser. No way I'm being stuck in this house with the wife and kids with no beer. Not gonna happen.

I'm hoping the dog in is the house with you! No dog or cat should be outside in this cold.

In the garage.

It's so wrong to be taking the dogs out at 4:30am at 30 degrees and it feels balmy.

DEFIANCE COUNTY FOLKS: get a stockpile of your beer, cigs and diapers!!!!!!! We're gonna be very cold for a couple weeks now.

A PSA from the RocketCorner 'cause we care.

another couple of days of bitter cold to hit the RC area.......make sure to lay in a good supply of batteries.....

How wrong is it to see a clip of a interstate wreck involving a FedEx truck and my 1st thought is, "I hope none of my packages are on that truck".

Watch out for the drifting snow.

And- stock up on beer so you don't get stuck at home, sober, with the family. It's the worst.

I am usually, in winters past. not one to piss and moan about winter weather...BUT, this year, I have had enough.....This winter has made me start thinking seriously of retirement and moving west..Arizona sounds about right

1] Bought a 6 pack of wine coolers. Figure that will last me at-least 3 days.
2] Put computer on craigslist.
3] Mapped out all the Duck Dynasty type shows for a 24 hr marathon.

"Woke up this morning and what did I see?"...another damn 7" coming down on me!

and also heard that Slicer got another 6-8" last night......

[Week 10 All-American]

Jock-

6 wine coolers would last 3 days? You admit that in public.

Not one to debate much about my snow takin' abilities, but, pretty sure I got about 10-11"".
