In true Pacific Northwest fashion, we are expected to get snow and freezing rain overnight.<\/p>\n<p>Not only will the roads be slick and dangerous. but the ice could also cause power outages.

With current temps in the 20&#8217;s, you could lose the ability to heat your home.<\/p>\n<p>We encourage you to prepare for this storm now. Take a look at steps you can take to get ready at home:<\/p>\n<p>\u2714\ufe0f Flashlight and extra batteries<br \/>\n\u2714\ufe0f Extra food and water such as dried fruit, nuts, granola bars and other food requiring no cooking or refrigeration<br \/>\n\u2714\ufe0f Baby items such as diapers and formula<br \/>\n\u2714\ufe0f First-aid supplies<br \/>\n\u2714\ufe0f Emergency heat source: fireplace or wood stove (gather warm blankets if you have no backup heat source)<br \/>\n\u2714\ufe0f Extra pet food and warm shelter for pets<br \/>\n\u2714\ufe0f Review generator safety: Never run a generator in an enclosed space<br \/>\n\u2714\ufe0f Check on vulnerable neighbors<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that even after the ice melts tomorrow evening, power outages could drag on.<\/p>\n<p>We also advise against any unnecessary travel overnight or tomorrow morning.
