Things to do during an Ohio ice storm

Especially if you live in an all electric home and are watching the tree limbs outside droop to the ground.
    Run some water through the coffee pot to clean it, and watch the little clumps fall through

    Brew a 1/2 regular, 1/2 decaf pot of coffee in case you can't get to the coffee shop tomorrow, and put it in a thermos

    Run that load of laundry that's been sitting on the floor for 2 days

    Heat up a can of that wonderful hearty beef and vegetable Progresso soup and put it in a thermos

    Check the flashlights

    Look for batteries in the basement and office desk

    Find the candles and matches

    Finish the watercolor started yesterday while the light is good

    Make sure the double garage door which weighs 5 tons isn't frozen to the driveway in case the opener won't work

    Check for your scraper and shovel, this looks like more than a credit card size storm

    Call about that hair appointment and plead for a rescheduling

    Call "the children" (40 and 41) to see that they got to work OK and nag them about being careful on the roads

    Enjoy the peacfulness of fat snowflakes slowly falling.
