I didn't really have a clear food plan for the storm, so that first day my strategy was to make food from the freezer that required electricity (the oven) the cook. The kids and Zac had frozen mini pizzas for lunch and frozen fish sticks for supper. You sure do appreciate your electricity more when you feel like you might lose it!
In the afternoon, the kids played around the house. Simon spent a lot of time with this little rubber shooter, and of course jumping off the guest bed.
That night, we slept together in the basement guest room again, even though the storm had been downgraded and the risk was pretty minimal.
