TWELVE STEPS TO SURVIVING A NEW ENGLAND BLIZZARD

How to prepare for a blizzard:

1.  Make sure you have enough liquids.  Yes, this should probably include water.

2.  Have some crackers or popcorn or something to absorb and balance the liquids.

3.  Make ice.  You might need it to ... keep food cold.  Yeah, that's why.

4.  Put extra ice into bags in the freezer.  Of course, a few cups of ice won't fit into the bags, so place those into the blender.

5.  In order to melt the blender ice slightly, pour tequila and margarita mix (or pre-mixed margarita) over the extra cubes.

6.  Test the electricity to make sure you still have power.  (Press HIGH on the blender.)

7.  Turn up the heat inside the house in case the power does go out later.

8.  In order to counteract the warmth inside the house, empty the blender contents into a very large cup.

9.  Drink the blended margarita to keep body temperature at a decent equilibrium and to prevent dehydration.

10.  Eat some of the crackers or popcorn.  This will help keep your strength up for the intensifying snowstorm (and to keep up the blender patrol).

11.  Remember that water you put aside earlier?  Use it to rinse out the blender and the now-empty cup.

12.  Repeat as necessary until spring arrives.
