I am doing nothing special. I have propane portable heaters that I use for socializing on my porch and a 6 kW generator that I will break out in case the power goes out, but those are always on deck.

it is 7:50PM and the wind is howling and the outside temp is 11F/-12C which is cold but I have no need to go outside. If I did, I have tons of appropriate clothing (i am a skier). There is a huge amount if food & alcohol in the house; some left over from my big Christmas party last weekend, some on deck for hosting my family for Christmas Eve and day.

The weather report accurately stated that we would not get any significant snow accumulation, so I haven’t bothered with any special prep. No special prep is really heeded unless we expect more that two feet of snow, which only happens every other year or so. Anything under a foot and I just dig out and go on as normal. My wife drove to visit her elderly mother in Maryland with no worries, and she will drive back tomorrow morning. Note that she will take the Southern route through Delaware rather than the direct route through Pennsylvania because Pennsylvania roads are a clusterfuck when it snows.
