Made my kitty baby a blanket for the blizzard!

Alright. I think we've done all we can reasonably do to prepare for this blizzard. So now it's time to hunker down and stay inside until at LEAST Saturday. Wishing everyone who sees this warmth and safety in the upcoming days.

Preparing for storms and blizzards: a warm-weather reminder

Hi everyone in the northern hemisphere! This is your warm-weather reminder to plan for cold-weather storms - you may want to invest in some items like:

additional lanterns

thick towels or blankets

layers to wear

wool socks

power brick (aka portable charger)

first-aid supplies

This post - which made the rounds after that nasty-ass 2021 blizzard in Texas USA - is such a fantastic resource! Read that whole post

So why am I reminding people in summer? Because in mid to late summer, people are starting to think about buying fall and winter stuff, but those cool-weather items aren’t flying off of shelves everywhere. Because now you have a few months to investigate, compare, budget, buy, and accessorize long before the first storm hits instead of buying whatever happens to be on the store shelves or available to arrive at your home before the storms start blowing through your area.

I'm all snowed in until at least Wednesday morning (hopefully longer).  This was the conversation my manager and I had this afternoon when I got into work:

Manager: Would you like to have tomorrow off?

Me: Very much so yes....considering I still probably wouldn't be coming in tomorrow anyway.

So I have tomorrow off!!! Now as long as I don't lose power I can work with this.  Possibly time to continue the fanfictions I have going for Digimon and Newsies

Zoya’s Guide To Blizzard Preparedness! 

I don’t know if you heard, but there’s a giant #blizzard coming and its gonna drop all kinds of cold stuff over us and the places where the dandelions grow! Lame! We shells of the #turtpocalypse must be prepared when a situation like this arrives! So here is my Blizzard Preparedness guide!

Snuggly Blankets. I mean, these are vital in the winter in general but EXTRA important during blizzard times. Your human can wrap a heat pad in them and then warp you in them so you stay warm. You can snuggle in them if your human needs to clean stuff in your castle or if you wanna watch a movie. Its important to make sure they are snuggly so definitely test em first. 

Always have lots of noms and back up noms, and more noms. You don’t know how long it will be till you can send your human out for more. Hide some extra, extra noms somewhere no one knows, in case you need a late night snack hehehe.  

Long Lasting air activated heat wraps (not the stinky kind with that icy hot stuff on it... those are no good) The cold is no good. We have our heat lamps and space heaters, but you have to be ready in case the power goes out! Humans use these things when their backs hurt or something, but they can also be used for a short time if we need to be kept warm and snuggly during a winter (or any other) power outage. These are cool cause they just need air to make them work and they stay warm for 8-12 hours!! That's a long time of warm snuggles you’ll have while your human figures out where to go so you can get your UVB and heat lamp back in order.

Battery Operated Radio. This is important so you can keep up with news while your human goes out to do things, like shovel or take a nap. If the power goes out, it can tell your human where you can go for warmth and noms (I vote California). Its also helpful if your human is listening to something sub par and you wanna have some of your own jams in your terrarium... hmmm..Maybe that's a personal problem never mind. 

The Humom hoodie heat & Snuggling device. (the most important one if you ask me).  I think this is self-explanatory. Humom’s hoodie is warm and snuggly! its useful for warmth, snuggles (and if you wanna be extra cute in an attempt to get extra noms this is the place to go!) .

Humom suggests making sure We're hydrated and getting our regular soaks but I'm not gonna list that cause I don't like baths. *pout*

I'm essentially going to work today just so I can bring home my work laptop because I sure as hell am not going outside on Tuesday or maybe even Wednesday. Also thanks to the news, I can't tell if it this is going to be the worst blizzard EVAH or just like a fuckton of snow. I'm paranoid about losing power. :(
