1. Pull out the kerosene heaters, or load up on firewood, because there will likely be a power outage. Our power lines are not equipped to handle ice and snow. There is usually an independent gas station that sells kerosene nearby.
2. Everything will close and roads will be impassable. We don't have snow plows. The highway departments will use road scrapers and bull dozers to clear the interstates and major roadways. Everyone else is on their own.
3. Your boss will tell you to come to work. The highway patrol will tell you to stay off the roads. Listen to the highway patrol. Best to just stay home and build snowmen, eat snow cream and wait it out. It doesn't last long.
4. You MUST congregate at the grocery store when snow is expected, even if you don't need anything. Buy marshmallows, hot chocolate and hot dogs, even if you don't have a fireplace. Could be a law, I don't know.
5. If you live in the country, and get stuck on a back road in the snow, don't panic. There will soon be a 4-wheel pickup full of men in camouflage, a six-pack of Budweiser, and a tow bar coming along. Do not fight it. This is what they live for.
5. Sit back and relax. Usually, the snow melts in a couple of days, and you can go about your business.
