snow

Took the day off. I'll be out snowmobiling most of the evening

 

Good luck to all of you that are in the HUGE storm path. I was out in PA last year and we go hit with 20" in two days. This storm sounds worse!

 

That would be why we have 6 boxes of livestock stuck in Chicago. You would think the distributor would hold off shipping until the snow ends.

 

I hope we get a bunch of snow so I can work from home tomorrow.

 

haha. Lucky.

I just got dome shovelling. We have about 6-8" already.

 

I hope the power doesn't go, but just in case. Thank you for all the replies. I cant afford a generator right now and I have electic stove, but I have 2 dozen hand warmers and I think I will get some more now while I can. storm just started but already have 2 inches and 35 mph winds! Thanks agin for all the support.

 

Just watched the mail lady almost get stuck in front of my neighbor's house. She didn't look happy as I went out with some cat litter to help her. She made it out herself though, and didn't even acknowledge my existence...

Got about 1 1/2" of ice here, fortunately it started as sleet instead of freezing rain, so no weighing down the power lines.

 

Power went out over here in Lakewood, Colorado. We only got a couple inches of snow but it was -15 degrees this morning when I woke up(wind chill about -40 in some parts). I wrapped the tank up as best as I could and was thankful the power was out for only about two hours. Only saw a couple degree change in the tank. I am going to get a battery back up and run the heater and pump only, just in case it happens again.

 

im about 20 min south of downtown chicago and its super windy and cold and lots of snow i hope electricity doesn't go out. i have some foot warmers i can use in case electricity goes out but well see

 

WooooooHOOOOOOOO!! I can hardly see out my window!! I live in the Loop (chicago) and we are going to get blasted! My ups is ready to go if Comed kicks the can

Fill a small food container with hand warmers. they are good for 6-8 hrs. but it need to be kept in low oxygen area (which is why they work better in mittens) so the smaller the container the better...
Your blankets are also a good idea
GOOD LUCK
