If any stores still have inflatable pool rafts, those will work until they tear. Also a truck shop might sell you some innertubes.spittinfire said:Where can I get a sled for my kids?

I second the cardboard, if you have any candles rub the "bottom" of the cardboard with the candle and wax it up. Helps to keep the cardboard from saturating with water too quickly and if the snow / ice is right it aids the slide ... at least it always seemed to.spittinfire said:Where can I get a sled for my kids?
No kidding! Insult to injury, this is the first time in 14 years they have treated the cul-de-sacs in our neighborhood.wolfpack65 said:Rain is gonna wash the pre-treatment off the roads....
We'll be right over!Mr. Holiday said:Just a little rain in my area right now. I would not mind a total shutdown for the next few days or longer.
I have plenty of snacks / booze for me and snacks / soft drinks for the kiddos.
If the power goes out we have a gas fire place for heat, if that fails we have a kerosene heater and a fair supply of 1-K.
Oil lamps are in their decorative locations but can quickly be put into use as working lamps.
Plenty of food that doesn't need to be cooked / heated, but plenty of propane for the grill, the Coleman stove, or Jetboil if anyone wants a hot meal.
Phones and iPads are charged and loaded with shows, games, books, etc.
Snow shovel is at hand and the windshield wipers have been put in the upright position to prevent them freezing to the windshield.
I had no plans to go out anywhere yesterday, today or beyond until the roads are clear.
I did go out earlier today to pick up a bottle of castor oil for use in a "homemade" shaving lotion. Lines were long and the cashier said they were much much longer yesterday.
Stay warm and stay safe everyone.

Let me know when that happens, I'll be right over.toddje said:OH, the humanity. I think I only have 4 beers in the house. If the thing goes on longer than a couple days I'll have to start drinking whisky, vodka and rum.
