Tips for coping with the blizzard:

1. Bring a snow shovel INSIDE the house BEFORE the snow comes.
Trust me.
It will come in handy.

2. Firewood stored in a detached garage will be useless.
Bring all that you can INSIDE.

Yer welcome.

Call that relative who lives in the Deep south, apologize for not talking to her for 10 years, and invite yourself down for a few days.

3. Stock up at the liquor store

My parents store their snow blower behind the garage. In the storm earlier this week, that proved quite problematic.
