Bomb cyclone 4 ways to prepare to work from home during a snowstorm Bomb cyclone 4 ways to prepare to work from home during a snowstorm If you haven’t heard by now, you’re about to find out:  A winter storm being described as a “bombogenesis,” which is expected to create a “bomb cyclone,” is heading for the East Coast.The snow has reportedly even come down in areas of Georgia and Florida.Of course, we’ll have to see how it actually pans out, but in the meantime, here are tips for preparing to work from home tomorrow, just in case the storm hits your area.Write down your work passwordsTake a page out of TIME politics editor and part-time Georgetown University School of Continuing Studies journalism professor Ryan Teague Beckwith’s book, and have your work credentials ready before the storm hits.Also consider writing them down on a piece of paper (gasp!) in case you lose power.Bring home your work laptopThis is a given, but you’ll want to make sure that you have access to all your important files, favorited sites, and Internet browser extensions you use at work.So, take your work laptop and charger in your bag on the way home the night before, just in case. After all, better safe than sorry.Having what you use for work might also make it a lot easier to get assignments done, so also make sure you fully charge it before the snow starts falling. Plug it in after you start working so your battery percentage level doesn’t dip too low.Plug in your portable chargersYou’re going to want to   be able to contact your boss if the power goes out at your house. So plug in any portable chargers you take with you on a regular basis or extra ones that you keep at home.Don’t forget to beat the crowds and get gas for your car in advance, too.Stock up on the right foodsMake sure you eat things that will help you work efficiently. Instead of loading up on chips and cookies, eat protein, vegetables and drink lots of water. Save the treats for later.Don’t forget to take your daily vitamins and go to sleep at a good time the night before, as well.Also take time away from your screen - being inside can give you cabin fever, so you might need to break things up by switching work locations at your house or going for a walk in the snow.
