Severe Weather Warning for NSW This Weekend

This map indicates where snow will fall over this weekend (the purple bits). It is expected that the snow could reach up into Queensland. It is predicted to be the coldest weather in 15 years. As Preppers we know what we need to do to avoid going out in these types of weather patterns. Some tips:

Make sure the car is full of fuel
Make sure your phones are charged and you have ways of recharging them if you loose power
Make sure you have an alternate heat source if you loose power to boil water, heat food
Extra staples like bread and milk, bottled water (and toilet paper)
Is your gas cylinder full?
Invest in a couple of hot water bottles
Make sure there is plenty of food that can be cooked without needing lots of preparation or better still, prepare meals beforehand
Make sure your pets have plenty of food
Make sure all torches have extra batteries
Make sure you get any medications before the weekend
Organise extra bedding now for each bed
Surprise the kids with a 'new' board game (you can pick up good 2nd hand ones at the Salvos or Vinnies) and some treats for a night in
If you need to go out in the car, make sure you have food, water, extra warm clothes and let people know when and where you are going (don't change the route you told people) and what time you are expected.
