Two days ago our region had an ice storm that coated windows...
.... power lines...
... and trees.
Experience has taught us that heavy laden, ice covered branches can bend to touch power lines, or even break off, cutting electricity.
So we took a few precautions, like keeping cell phones charged, putting gas in our small generator, so that it would be ready to go if needed.
I also took some food out of the fridge, in case the power went out and we wanted to avoid opening the fridge door. Not easily perishable food, but things like lettuce, apples, bread and jam.
I also made herbal tea that I enjoy both hot and at room temperature.
We stayed indoors all day. Fortunately we didn't lose power. We were able to cook.
But we were ready - in case we couldn't.
