Somehow reading your post gave me a scary Vuja Dey on trying to mimic your options thinking at this point. Guess I will take a bit of time to think it over.

Thinking about a short term long side scalp here.....it's at 1011. If I was right, earlier, this is the area of the secondary low I was musing about this morning.

Anyway, sealing a driveway should not be done more than once every 3 or 4 years. Otherwise you will fall and break your neck one day. It can and will get worse than ice on a damp, cold day.

Also, cut off water to outside faucets. Get a small supply of chemicals for melting ice. Salt, if you don't wish to spring for the better stuff, the chemical name of which escapes me at the moment. Buy a small shovel. Buy some warmer clothes. Gloves. Proper footgear.

A lot of this stuff may sound obvious but you have been in CA for awhile; who knows?

Portable lighting, flashlights and so forth, for outages. Look at the roof. Normal stuff that would would check when you are buying a house should be checked out occasionally anyway. Consider asking a tree service to check out possible limbs, branches, which may not hold up in a storm. I have mine checked every 3 or 4 years. Once my wife was sitting in the shade of an old ashe, holding my infant son. As she got up to enter the house the tree fell where she was sitting. Another time I was working on a car. Walking away to get a wrench a branch came down and went right through the nose of the car...right where I was leaning. A winter storm can do a lot of damage to older trees and if they are close to the house, well.

Anyway, sorry about the sidebar....just thinking of stuff off hand.
