Default The Ice and stuff
Just to let ya know I'm okay. The ice has messed with our power - it's on, it's off, it's back, etc.

So the phones and isp are iffy. The worst was trying to wake up to NO coffee. (Duh, I could've walked over to the carryout and got a cup)



I do have 3 ventless gas heaters though so we won't freeze to death. That was possibly the smartest thing dh ever did to this house.
So if ya don't hear from me I'm incummunicato but all right. Have working flash lights, food, etc.

Hope everyone else is okay.

I feel for ya Brain!

I broke down and bought a generator last year! It's only a small one but it gets the job done!

Hang in there!

We're having a big snow storm here too! We've got about a foot of snow!! And it's still coming down! We've not lost power but we do have a generator. We had one hard wired into the house when we built it. It will keep the fridge, freezer, furnace, well pump, and some other essentials going as long as we have gas to run it. We also have a fireplace with a heatilator so we're pretty well set in case of any emergency.

Too bad PODH feel the needs to store our trailer at his parents 450 miles away during the winter when we could use it during storms and/or power outages...duh!

Hope everyone else is ok! Guess winter has arrived!

UGH!

Call it irrational or crisis dependent or whatever, but I'm jealous.
I didn't grow up down here and miss the occasional snow and yes, ice too.

We got a whopping 15... minutes of snow last year.

But sounds like you've hunkered down pretty well. Think it would be worth the investment for a little gas operated generator? For during the black outs?

No. I'm not trying to sell you one.

I can't stand it....I am pacing the floor...cleaning everything in sight...

The Hawaii Kid made it to San Fran and then the snow dumped..... and all the flights to Portland were canceled ...no trains...no buses...nothing....

I think he should just go back...but I don't think he can get a flight for that either.

So here I wait to see if he gets anywhere closer so we can try and drive and pick him up.

Anyone want a house guest?
