There’s a nor’easter headed our way this weekend, which will bring us our first real snow this winter. If you’ve never experienced a nor’easter before, here’s everything you need to do to prepare for it:
1. Go to the store and stock up on food
2. But don’t buy too many perishable foods, in case the electricity goes out and your fridge doesn’t work
3. In fact, better eat all the food in your fridge now, just in case
4. Charge all electronic devices
5. But make sure you have non-electronic entertainment handy
6. Seriously, go to the library and check out a book
7. Or buy a deck of cards
8. Preemptively take out the garbage so you won’t have to go outside for any reason
9. Exercise, so you don’t feel guilty about doing nothing all weekend
10. Train your dog to go in a litter box
11. If you can’t train your dog to go in a litter box, train him to walk himself
13. Inform your roommate that your snow bunny will be spending the weekend here
14. Buy wine
15. Make sure it’s red wine, in case your fridge doesn’t work
16. Make sure your roommate doesn’t drink the wine
17. Or, buy hot chocolate and peppermint schnapps
18. Tell your roommate that maybe you’ll share one cup of hot chocolate
19. If you have more than one roommate, forget about sharing
20. Steal your roommate’s Snuggie
21. Snuggle up and wait for the winter wonderland
