What do you do?

Winter Storm Mode! 

That’s what we heard for days and finally it happened. We were prepared. Soups were made to be reheated on the wood stove, stacks of wood ready by the door to burn, the generator was ready to be turned on and my mother-in-law was coxed out of her home.

So what happened? We had sleet/ice. Instead of the brutal weather we expected we were treated to days of diamonds resting in the tree branches. 

So what do you do when the worst is predicted? 
Do you hunker down and prepare? 
Do you say what will be will be?
