Pretty well covered from what I've read, now just waiting on the vikes so it warms up a bit here.
It will come to mind in the moment (I trust), however, IF we/ you lose heat drain the water lines in case it does reach a freezing temp in the house/cabin, the reason should be a given.
Also its much easier to work with water we use if we dont let it freeze.
We keep a stock of wood as we have fire burners etc.
I read a comment about the house gutters, good point, *"Ice dams" (*when the ice starts to form under the shingles up the roof line past a water shielded area of aprox 4 feet up the roof line) can cause sever damage to the shingle layer and cause the ice to melt under the shingle & inside the home and water damage results.
ofc without power ice melting cables are off the table, however, clearing snow or ice off the roof vents helps hugely to regulate the temps and ice build up...
something to think of before damage occurs to the house. just sayin.
Though there is a huge cool factor and fun factor to takin the 4x4 out in the snow, as fore mentioned, it is best to wait for the roads to clear... it really sucks when the fun runs out and your stuck in the truck.. in the COLD, it gets old fast.
Candles.
lose, Layered clothes ready.
stay dry (we never know what will happen with the storm or our home during these.. some have had a roof collapse etc.)
At home camping... luv that!
*I hope this helps.
