If you live in Northeastern US are you preparing your place for the extreme cold?

Asked by LuckyGuy (43694points) January 6th, 2015

I am setting my thermostats a little higher and keeping the house a little warmer in case the power goes out. I have opened the door to the back bedroom so the hot water baseboard heater doesn’t freeze. I am also opening the cupboards under the sinks adjacent to an outside wall (my kitchen and one bathroom) so those pipes don’t freeze. The medicine cabinet on the outside wall is also open so liquids and gels don’t get damaged.
The dishes and laundry are clean and I have plenty of wood, food, and gasoline.
What are you doing to get ready for the cold?
