SAFETY ALERT!!
Current in pending severe weather will cause freezing pipes and other issues especially if power is lost.
If you have foundation vents on your home go out and close them now this will stop the colder air from coming in and freezing pipes.
Find your water cut off in the house and make sure you know where it’s at in the event a pipe does freeze.
Turn your thermostat up as high as you can tolerate it before the power goes out if you run your temperature in the house up to 75 or 80° you’ll hold that heat a lot longer when the power does go out. 
Charge all flashlights, inverters, cell phones and communication devices.
Make sure all livestock have water and feed. Check tank heaters and coop lamps !
Prepare food that can be eaten by precooking and prepping.
Lay plastic sheets over walkways and stairs. They can be removed after sleet/icing stops.
