I haven't read all the comments so someone may have mentioned these. I have lived through a bunch of hurricanes, Nor'Easters and blizzards and want to add:

About the freezer - Along with bottles of water, fill it with frozen food and open it ONLY when needed. The more you have in it, the longer the food will stay frozen/cold. Get a small cooler for drinks or snacks because the more you open the fridge/freezer the quicker the contents will get to room temp.

Beware of the eye of the storm. You think it's over, only to have it start all over again.

Make sure you have at least one radio and batteries so you can get updates.

Cook as much food as possible before the storm. You never know if you will be able to cook afterwards. Or, get a propane grill so you can cook.

Bottom line: prior planning prevents piss poor performance.

PREPARE, PREPARE, PREPARE CONSERVE, CONSERVE, CONSERVE

Edited to add: You can live without food for 3 weeks but you will die without water after 3 days.
