Buy dry or canned food today, if you need any, bjones6416. Then, stay home, bundle up, and try to enjoy roughing it.
In my two extended outages, each a bit more than a week long (following the Halloween blizzard of 2011 and Sandy in 2012) I had several cheap LED flashlights. Standing them on end and shining through translucent plastic cups, I had some very effective lamps. Not good enough to read by, but they provided enough light for me to get around the room safely -- and made the house look lived-in in case anyone was checking out the neighborhood. They'd last anywhere from 24 to 96 hours -- some smaller ones that I used as marker lights on stairs, lasted even longer than that.
And the camping supply companies now make very large, very bright LED lanterns. I got one last year that takes D cells and really lights up the room.
Anyway, good luck. I hope the power stays on.
