    • Things I’ve learned living on a very hilly island during a snow storm:
.
1.) You will be pushing cars up hills and praying to the universe that they don’t fall back down.
.
2.) You should always have kitty litter in the car in case you need the tires to gain traction on said hill.
.
3.) You should purchase as many down blankets as you can because the power might be out for 15 hours, and your heat is electric.
.
4.) You should stay in bed and read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in between naps so as not to lose said heat.
.
5.) When the power does come back on, you should run to the shed to get your camp stove and games and cross your fingers that the power stays on through the weekend.
.
6.) Due to hill listed in tip 1 and two cars without 4WD, you may not be leaving the house for days.
