Weather Emergency Family Preparedness Plan

Do you have a Weather Emergency Family Preparedness Plan??

Well, you should. At least that's what all the forecast websites told me. And because in Tennessee, we've never seen more than two inches of snow (today we have eight!), the state has been declared in a "state of emergency" (stop laughing at us Minnesota). And so, under weather.com's commands, I've taken a quick inventory of things we have in case the roommates and I get snowed in.

• Shovel: nope. We're a household of college girls, why would we ever need a shovel prior to this?
• Snow tires: negatory, captain
• Flashlight: probably somewhere around here. Granted, we don't even have batteries. On second thought, I do have a headlamp because those things are really fun to run around with in the pure darkness (and because it makes me feel cool)
• Food: 20+ cans of tuna, three frozen pizzas, tea and snow cream--we may freeze to death but we definitely won't starve to death (although our taste buds may hate us)!
• Tent: Why, yes as a matter of fact we do

And so, because we want to take all the precautions we can, In case the ceiling collapses from the INTENSE weight of the snow, we've decided to build a tent in the living room...just in case

Note: Aslan spent the night in there with us because lions generally do not enjoy cold weather--although Aslan LOVES snow
