Very practical and helpful suggestions. How about sharing them with our nation’s power companies who could send them out as a PSA, with credit to you of course?

In 1976 the are where I lived experienced a 2 week power outage. I took the frozen corn, found some other stuff on hand and made corn relish.

I bet it was delicious! Was that the blizzard of '76? My parents had just left for Hawaii and missed it. The high school down the road from me (in Ontario, Canada) turned into a giant dorm. My sister made sandwiches and delivered them to the stranded students and staff.

No, it was the ice storm in 76, the blizzard was in 77. No power lines were downed during the blizzard, peeps were just stuck for 2 weeks wherever they were.
