I used to be really good about keeping a stash of food, especially if we had a bad storm and power outage, I would keep about three cans of some kind of nutbread and small cans of pineapple juice and water -- I would also hardboil some eggs when a big storm was predicted and have a couple of six packs of small water bottles. I haven't been doing this lately but after hearing your story of only having fish and deer meat I might start again. Also I would make sure I had enough wood to burn for a couple of days. Last month I just read was the lowest temperatures every recorded for the month of February where I live.
It's spring tomorrow & we are having a 13 degree night with snow predicted for tomorrow. YUK!
I had the most horrid thing happen to me yesterday. I have two of those wrought (sp?) iron things that I hang hanging plants on in my backyard, but during the winter months hang bird feeders on. Of course the squirrels raid it. So after I came home from work yesterday I went out to refill it. A squirrel had obviously fallen down and was wedged between the base of them both (the bases are close together). It's arms and head were stuck and I could see blood & I didn't notice it until I started pouring bird food into the bird feeders. And it started struggling -- I pulled the wrought iron things apart and it got loose. It couldn't climb the nearest tree and really really limped off. It was an awful thing to witness, I just feel so bad!
Anyways OT, I hope someone comes to rescue you with a snowplow!
