Give some thought to purchasing a generator sometime. One of my best investments. In the winter, ours allows us to keep both wood pellet stoves going along with 2 refrigerators w/freezers and a chest freezer. We can also run our main entertainment center along with maintaining an internet connection.

we have a generator for the race trailer. Just want something where if it's a quicky, TV and internet will stay on. What we need to do is make a generator box to cover it up in close proximity, right now it lives in the mud under the race trailer until needed, which makes it a pain to pull out, especially if raining.
 
you ok after that nor easter @#17D500winner ?

Power was out for about 8 hrs here just got the snow blower out and finished my driveway and cleaned off my car and the elderly lady next doors car.
Elderly are funny--I told her I was cleaning it off and she said, "ok...one condition...you let me pay you". People like that help me realize the world is going to be ok. She knows we watch her house when she is not there, and she watches ours. Stuff like that is pure gold.

All we got was rain (a lot of rain) and a bit of wind. I live close enough to the South Shore that the snow belt is just North enough to sometimes keep it wet and not white. Although, western NS didn't get hit at all, afaik.

It sure looked like a mess in your area. Good to see you made out okay.

Glad you are ok..
 
4 inches of snow overnight. 24 degrees this morning. Black Friday shoppers are having a tough go of it. Lot's of wrecks on the roadways this morning.
 
SuperDroid Robots is working on a robotic snow blower. They've built one or two, and looking at building in kit form for masses.

Meanwhile we're looking at a 40 degree swing here. 38 right now, projected high 74, actual high probably 76-78. About to head out to the track.
 
In case anyone is interested, hold down "Alt" key and type in 0176 on a numeric keypad to get the ° symbol.
 
Speaking of weather, look at the backdrop for tomorrow's Gobbler big block modified event at Accord Speedway. They worked yesterday and today clearing snow from the track and the grandstands. I actually wish I could go, and I hate winter.

Up to 60° -- humidity up, along with the dewpoint.
Didn't realize that when I went out with the chainsaw -- 45 minutes and my tongue is hanging out. *pant, pant, pant*
(and no snide remarks needed, either)
Did get some limbs off the fence and the wire pulled back into place.

It was 26* Monday morning when I left for the Hill Country, but had a bright sunshiny day.
Made the offer on the house I want to buy --- now I wait for the owner to make a decision.

Did you let us all know what happened and I missed it?
Did the owner agree on your offer or are you still negotiating?

Am I the only one who really wants to see a full fledged NASCAR race in the snow? I mean winter tires, snow on the track, drivers wearing mittens.
