Keri, are you in a single family home? If so, make sure you check your roof for ice dams after this storm and before you leave. While I was in Mexico in December, we had a 25 inch snowfall... then a freeze and quick thaw. I came home to an ice dam (this house had NEVER had one)that was causing water damage inside my home. Something I've never had to do but is now on my list: Have someone pre-hired to check the roof in case of a major snowfall and shovel it if necessary while I'm gone.
Be safe through this coming storm. Here in MPLS it's snowing; only at about 4 inches and not expecting too much more.
