Is there a community centre or similar you can go to like we have cyclone shelters here? Some hospitals let people use their waiting rooms over here too in extreme weather. Hope you stay safe and warm.

I also have anxiety over earthquakes living on the west coast. Do you have friends close and maybe someone you can carpool with on Monday. Stay safe, take a deep breath and try to relax! Hugs

Im freaking a little because i had a hear attack 8 years ago. No problems since then but my 20 minute trip to the hospital would be 60 minutes now if I could even get there at all. 911 does not respond quickly in my area and I would probably a very long wait right now.

Dont know youre financial condition but you would be surprised what
you could run with a $350 generator. You can get 4000 watts for that price at Home Depot right now if they're not sold out.

I have a 6500 watt and its way more than enough for what i need to run.

i used to live in the intermountain west, and blizzards really terrified me. The good news is that they're temporary. During the storm, do what you can to make yourself comfortable. Stock up on candles in case the power goes out, and gather up all the blankets in your house so you'll stay warm. Do you have a fireplace? That could also come in handy, but it's not essential.

Find things to keep yourself occupied: chores around the house, reading, puzzles...anything that will take your mind off the storm.

Sometimes employers will let people work from home if the roads are really bad. Do you have the option of telecommuting? Or is it something you can ask about?

If you do have to drive on Monday, just be sure you scrape all the snow off your car and take it slow. Listen to something relaxing on the radio like classical music or whatever you find helps. Also make yourself some tea or coffee and have it with you in the car - for whatever reason that helps me a little bit.

Hang in there and repeat after me: the blizzard is temporary and things will go back to normal soon.

Well I got through the blizzard okay and thankfully the power did not go out. Now I am just anxious about getting on the road again. I did not get to visit my mom today because the roads are still a mess. I don't know if I will be calm enough to get out tomorrow.
