uh, 2 " already

snow not supposed to start till 6pm. Why am I not surprised.

 

[mass_burner]

Ready for the power outage. Battery packs fully charged on trickle, Prius topped off, snow thrower ready and staged, wood bin full in basement.

Bring it on.

Ha - well, I'm ready here I think. Not expecting a whole lot though based on the forecasted rain tomorrow morning. Just enough to mess up the evening plans though.

I bought a generator over the summer - haven't fired it up yet (no point in letting the gas go stale in there eh?). The electrician I found (friend of friend) hasn't yet come to install the plug - "next week" is his theme, but I did agree that timing wasn't essential until there was a need but still I'd be happier with it done already.

I'm more concerned about the with, they're saying 40+. That's sure to take out the power. My Prius is my generator, 1500 watts for fridge, TV/cable.

We've got quite a bit already... Was colder than predicted, hope that means the rain transition will hold off. I'm not worried about loosing power, just not looking forward to clearing 6 inches of slush.

 

[Swedishchef]

Ahhh..I love it when my blower throws water out it's chute.

Winds of up to 70 km/h and 20-30cm of snow for here. Should make for a fun drive to work tomorrow.

Turned to rain around 3am. 6" of slush

 

[Swedishchef]

Ugh, I hope you have a powerful blower! Or a plow. Shoveling 50lb loads of slush makes for a sore back the next day.

No power outage, not a very big event for us. Actually, its 43 now here close to the coast. Going to try out the new to me '78 Ariens.

Too a while but we got I done. Just in time too as the temps are falling earlier than they thought and its all turning to ice.

Today the entire family is coming for the twins 3rd birthday party so I got lots to do yet!

Just finished blowing the 12 inches now time for nice hot soup.

Happy BIrthday party twins!

I am guessing your statement above (in bold) should have been "It took a while but we got it done."? I kinda felt like I was on the Wheel of Fortune. ha ha.
