Nor'Easter! With Foilage. Danger!

[cogger]

A forming low off the south east coast is expected to track northward and slam the cold New England airmass. By a.m. tomorrow in my part of the northeast the national weather service says 15F for a morning low temp.

Heavy snow on leaf covered trees means power outages and tree snaping. I'm sure we are aware of that but it's way too early in the season. This is more like 7 or 8 weeks away. Best ski season out west on 40yrs. Hmmm, Global warming?? More like global cooling.

Be ready for some free firewood to cut.

Anyone read the farmers almanac for the northeast for this winter?

Bring it on, I got my stove and a natural gas generator ready to impress the neighbors. I guess it may be football at my house this week. If there is a god, no branches will hit my direct TV dishes

Mind if I ask what brand generator you have? What size, how much of the house does it cover?
I am looking to have one installed some time in the future.

Too funny...White Mountains
Uhhh...that narrows it down to about 20 towns.


Farmers Almanac predicts a colder than normal winter with much early snow for New England.

natural gas generator? as in a power generator? what if the gas goes out?

 

[kenny chaos]

There's no boy in a ballon or a riot at a coat factory store so we will worry about a killer storm
wiping out the northeast.
Remember our kids being killed and wounded in the wars.

I was thinking the same thing!

And what people don't realize is that when the pumping stations have no power to pump the natural gas....... :bug:

I learned my lesson the hard way back in 1997 with my Grandma. Ice storm knocked out power for 6 days in the middle of a Michigan February. Thank god for the Old smoke Dragon at Grandmas house and plenty of seasoned Hickory.

When the Blackout of Summer 2003 happen, there was no natural gas after about 2 days, no City Water after 1 day. No nothing for about 5 days.

I was happy to have a gasoline generator,50 gallons of gasoline,40 gallons of drinking water in the water heater, 10 gallons of bottled water, 4 cases of beer, plenty of MRE's, BarBaQ fixings, french press coffee maker, rain water in drums for toilet flushing, Girlfriend in bathing suit and out, plenty of guns and ammo, and a gassed up boat.

Could see the Stars in Detroit that night!

That's a really cool picture. We were unaffected by the blackout but I know it scared the daylights out of a lot of people.

And I recall my mother being without electricity for over a week in an ice storm... some in northern Maine were without it for over two weeks in the middle of the winter.

Hiram,

That is a great, great picture... Thanks. I remember the panic those two days. Everyone thought it was terrorism (it may have been, I do not think we ever got a reasonable answer from the government). Alot of people got to see what a true dark sky is all about. It is fascinating. I am a star gazer and when I went up to northern NH one weekend for snowmobiling we turned the machines off about 2 miles from the Canadian border. There were so many stars I had never seen before that I had a hard time finding the big dipper.

As far as generators go, you should get a propane one. Have a local company "rent" you a couple of 125 gallon bottles. Should do you for a week or so.

I'm with you KenCo
We build the War Machine and feed it with our babies.
What are Kate & Jon plus 8 doing today?

Here in the State College, PA area we got maybe 3 to 5 inches of wet snow on trees with leaves. Lots of smaller branches are down, and we have had short power outages all over town, but no real major damage. Penn State has closed grass parking lots for the football game, so that is the major inconvenience of the storm. It has been snowing since Friday morning here and still is snowing. Only a few firewood-worthy trees are down in my neighborhood. Most of the trees here still have their leaves and they are drooping, but not too many are breaking.

most likely he lives where there is no municipal gas, likely has a submarine type propane tank, he will be set for days, my neighbor across the street had one put in last fall, after the ice storm (before Christmas) he was the only one with ALL his power, even ran his dusk to dawn light as normal, he told me the only time he remembered he was on a generator was when the electric stove was on sometimes the lights would flicker in the house. His tank ran him for all five days without a refill.
