Freezing before the storm

Once a storm is less than 4 days away and your area is in the cone of uncertainty it is time to start freezing!

First, clean out your freezer. Throw away anything you can do without. Place all meat on the very bottom of your freezer. Stack gallon jugs of water on top of the meat. Place as many bottles of water as you can fit in the shelves of your freezer and close the door. Instruct family not to open the freezer unless absolutely necessary.

Start bagging ice in freezer Ziploc bags as well.


Remember heat rises, by placing meat on the bottom it will stay frozen and fresh for several days.

You will be starting to thaw just about the time ice becomes available in you area.
