60 degrees here yesterday, I was running around with the T tops off my car. Now I have 4 inches of snow everywhere.  Oh well, that's Arkansas weather for you.

Forget it as Bill Engvall says "You will not survive this storm!!!!"

Seriosly, Batteries for Flashlights and lanterns, Camping stoves, Tent heaters or Kerosene heaters and stock some food for a couple days.

Just in case you lose power!!!

Well, to start you could try planning ahead and not waiting until the emergency is right on top of you before trying to assemble the the supplies you need.
