Consider these for the house:
- flannel sheets on the bed. We still like regular pillow cases, though
- electric blankets, mattress warmers and extra blankets
- oven dinners and baking bread
Consider these for the car:
- blankets in each vehicle so if you get stuck, you're warmer waiting for help. I didn't say warm as cars in Colorado without our natural solar heat cool off quickly
- take your coat, hat and appropriate walking shoes
- flares and flashlights
Consider these for the pets:
- a place for them to get out of the weather and away from predators. For us, either the garage or barn is their emergency spot. However, ours hibernate in the house whenever possible
- cat condos for one in their emergency spots - smallish boxes with insulation and soft clothes
- unfrozen drinking water. We use electric bowls (garage sale).
- small amount of dried food if we will be gone overnight (unusual). We don't want to feed the wildlife. We have had mice, squirrels and raccoons invite themselves for dinner and a drink.
