I've been watching the weather
channel and it seems Columbus
will be in the direct path
of the sleet and freezing rain.
They said we could 1" or more
of freezing rain.
I may be overreacting but you should
always be prepared in any severe
weather or emergency situation.
Right now this storm is over 2,000
miles long. Over 100 million people
are without power from it.
Get together an emergency kit to
have on hand.
Flashlight with many batteries,
if you use candles please be sure
to monitor them closely,
battery operated radio,
wrench to turn off any utilities
such as water should a pipe burst,
food supply that doesn't require
any cooking and have a non electric
type can opener on hand.
Keep a first aid kit, medicines
and a fire extinguisher near you.
At least 3 days food supply and 1 gallon
water per person per day.
Here are some examples for food:
peanut butter sandwiches,
tuna fish,
crackers,
canned fruit,
dry cereal.
Make sure to fill up your gas tank.
You may need to leave your home
and power may be out all over,
even to gas stations and stores.
Carry blankets, extra clothes and
food/water in your vehicle along with
a cell phone and car charger.
Have an emergency plan discussed with
the whole family.
One of our plans is that if we loose
power and Upper Arlington still has power,
is to temporarily stay in a vacated apartment
at my husbands work.
Carry cash. You don't know if you need
to move to a place like a hotel
if the credit, debit or ATMs machines will
be functioning!
I thought of this also.
If you have been through an
ice or wind storm you know those
large trees can topple at any given
moment sometimes coming down on your
home or car. Make sure to keep your family
and vehicles
at the farthest point of your home
away from those trees should one
fall over.
If you have solar lights, now's the time
to keep them within reach.
Charge with the sun outside during
the day and bring inside at night
for light.

Light frozen mix to glaze things over in the morning, then an inch of rain at night Tuesday followed by a couple of inches of snow and 40 mph winds on Wednesday.
5:10pm
Right now the storm is nearing the
Muncie & Richmond, Indiana area.
Some rain and freezing sleet
is seen near Southern Ohio around
Portsmouth.
-----------------------------------
6:30pm
The snow, sleet & rain is just now
entering the Western Ohio border.
My poor honey has on call this week.
He went to bed around 6:15-6:30pm
just in case there may be any
calls in the middle of the night.
7:55pm
Got all the candles rounded up
and sitting on the coffee table along
with a lighter in case we need it.
Told the kids to make sure
to wear tops and bottoms to bed.
Sometimes they like to sleep
in just undies or a t-shirt.
That way if we loose heat
they are covered somewhat until
we realize it.
I also laid out clothing like
thermal tops & bottoms,
heavy pants and tops along
with a couple pairs socks and undies.
If the power goes out I sure
as heck don't want to be running
around in the dark finding everything!
Got extra gas in the tank of
the truck and are stocked up
on ciggies :0)
---------------------------
8:45pm
Storms almost here.
Time to get a acid reflux pill.
It's gonna be a long night if I can't
get the burn to go away now.
Trying to lay down and go to sleep
with it is impossible.
I've awoken many a night with it,
gagging and coughing and ending
up having to get sick.
NOT the thing you want with
acid reflux! Horrible!
Monday will be cloudy and cold, with daytime highs reaching 29 degrees.
A wintry mix will begin falling during the afternoon or evening. Precipitation will start out as snow and sleet before turning over to freezing rain.
Overnight temperatures will fall to 27 degrees.
Expect more sleet and freezing rain on Tuesday. Precipitation will eventually turn to rain as highs reach 36 degrees.
The storm could produce up to a inch of ice and up to an inch of snow and sleet. Totals could be different based on the path of the storm.
Windy conditions will develop on the backside of the storm on Wednesday.
Arctic air will return to the region behind this storm, with highs in the low 20s to wrap up the week.--------------------------------------------
