Also three days worth inside next to the stove. Check list - 3 large chicken pot pies ( cook on top of stove ) 12 pack of Sierra Nevada Pale ale.

What blizzard?? It's 51F and calm. Might hit freezing overnight. Oh yeah, and on mandatory no burn across 7 counties due to EPA air quality violations. I'll take some blizzard.

Best of luck to all of you in the NE. Stay warm and be safe.
 
I go on the values of semper paratus.
 
Ready. I only have 140' of driveway to clear, and I have 10 gallons of fuel for the Toro 2 stage Blower. I also have wood inside the house, and another 1/4 cord in the garage staying dry, and then another 2 or 3 cord already seasoned wood in the wood shed (ataying mostly dry), along with ANOTHER 6 or 7 cord of unseasoned wood in the same wood shed. I have to work tomorrow, but I will be able to run a few errands (mainly premium beer aquisition) and doing a coupld other things around the house after I get off... We're on Long Island and right now they are saying 24" - 36".
 
Bought a battery for the fourwheeler today so I can use the plow (winch won't work without a battery) and put the plow on it........... Plowed all around my wood piles from the 8" we got the other night.......... Got 3 days of wood moved into the basement.
 
Yes I fired up the generator this morning, will power the whole house. Started up the snowblower everything gassed up.monday will have to pick up the liquid refreshments.
 
U must have been a coasty. Don't u mean paralysis:)

Ouch lol, yes I was a coasty ten years ago, it feels like yesterday though, I just got the call for work saying to pack a bag for 5 days minimum, I work for the power company, we'll give this storm hell

Those TYMs are nice tractors.

Stoves have been cleaned.
Wood boxes are full.
Cat box cleaned (plenty of fresh litter ready to go). KEY!
Cat/dog food in abundance, grocery shopping completed last night.
Full tank of gasoline for the snow blower (cars full, too).
Auxiliary water will be drawn tonight.
Lamp oil in abundance; reservoirs filled, wicks cleaned, and replacement mantles in stock.

I hope we don't lose power, I'd really like to spend the day in my shop working away in undisturbed quiet.
 
Stay warm folks and stay safe.
 
Well have to say I'm psyched for this storm. Last year we bought a Napoleon 1402 insert. I have been tinkering with it all season to figure out burn times and how best to operate it. I have 2 cords of well seasoned hardwood left and the storm will hit tonight. I moved a quarter cord from my garage to my cellar so I don't have to go out. They are predicting 2 to 3 feet here in Eastern Massachusetts. I have plenty of food, plenty of beer and a bottle of Jamison, so mother nature do your best I know I'll be toasty even if the power goes out.
