Looming doom and gloom

As many of you know much of the Northeast has been bombarded by snow this winter. The kids have all used up their snow days and the weather does not seem to be wanting to let up. We have a good 2 feet of snow already on the ground and more is predicted as well as an ice storm. This is all to take place in the next 24 hours.  We have a long and very steep driveway that I am sure will be impassable. We do expect power outages throughout the state. I have told the children to power up their electronic toys and laptops. If I can get out later today I will pick up a car charger for my cell phone. Our town has terrible cell reception and we have our phone service through our cable company so that every time the power goes out we lose phone service. I now (and have repeatedly over the years) question the wisdom of this, what we thought at the time to be a great decision. I have a knot n the pit of my stomach and the feeling of impending doom and gloom... I worry about being home without phone service, without power and three children. As you know I am usually a (wine)glass half full kind of a girl but I just have a feeling I cannot shake... Do you ever feel this way and what do you do to snap out of it?
