The plan is if the power goes out to get the generator going and at least plug in the the freezers and get some light on in the house. The TV would be nice but not necessary. I will set up my treadle and just keep on sewing. If it gets colder I will pull out plenty of quilts. The only other thing is to plug in the heater tapes for the pipes. I will then call an official cuddle alert!
