AccuWeather has full details.

There is also going to be a serious ice storm.
From the Ozarks east into the area designated "heaviest icing" there will likely be power failures. Some areas may be without power for 1 to 5 days.

How do you prepare for a power failure of that length?
  • Extra cash from ATM
  • Fill your car's gas tank
  • Keep your computer and cell phone charged while you have power
  • Get an inverter so you can use your car to keep your laptop and cell phone charged
  • Get any prescriptions refilled
  • Make any provisions for relatives that might cope well without power
And, if you are planning to fly to/from or though cities in these areas, I recommend you be proactive and change your plans. Here is one of the most popular features in the history of the blog, the Airline Crisis Survival Guide
