Crisis averted/avoided/didn’t happen
This morning’s prep session was useful. I am now ready if I have to camp out at the hotel for a couple of nights. Fortunately the freeze didn’t happen last night. I am going to keep the bag packed and stowed in my truck and I will schedule time every so often to take the stuff out of it and switch out the clothing for something clean. I may stick a dryer sheet in there as well. I am going to start keeping a food pack ready as well. I’ll take one of my lunch bags that I am not using and keep three or four ready to heat meals in there with some eating utensils. In addition to that I am going to add a half gallon’s worth of water bottles. That would mean 2 quart size bottles. The idea is to fill these up with ice and water and put them in a cooler to take with me. Even though we are more than half way through January there is still February and this has not been a town where we just drive all over the place in sleet. We’re getting better and the road crews are getting better at salting the road. But there are still people who zip down the road like nothing is out of the ordinary and then we have to wait like an hour while rescue vehicles try to extricate them out of their situation.
