Winter Snow Storm

Well as you guys know we have a pretty massive storm coming to Green Bay here pretty quick, and they snow amount has doubled overnight, so before this beast starts to throw snow, im running to the LFS to get some supplies in case of a power outage, anyone have any idea's what ill be needing, I have a small ac power converter already for my heater. The expected amount of snow is now 12"-18" of heavy snow

 

Before I got a generator (which was stolen right out of my garage but beside the point) I had moving blankets, a kerosene heater and one of those D cell powered air pumps used for keeping fishing minnows alive in a bucket.

We are accustomed to ice related power outages here in SD LOL.

When it would happen I would get the air pump set up, wrap the tank with the blankets to hold what heat it already had and get the heater going to keep the ambient temp. in the room up.

 

Im pretty sure there are some battery powered powerheads..That will help with gas exchange.

 

ok i do have a mr buddy heater for my ice shanty thats propane and i do have my fireplace and all the wood is inside for it just incase, so i should be ok temp wise, my tank is in my living room, the air pump will be a good thing to have ill get some of those. and blankets i do have lol ill set some next to my tank, the storm should be here in an hr or so.

 

that's a new one, i know my LFS doesnt have any of those, petco, or petsmart may tho? ill give them a call, my ac converter may be able to power a powerhead, ive got 2 other batteries charged for it so i can just swap them out when there dead, and if need be ill take the battery out of my mustang thats in the garage but i will check into these, they sound pretty cool

 

You can find the battery powered air pump in the sporting goods section of Walmart. They're around $7

 

thats probably cheaper then my LFS lol ill check that out, its on my way to the LFS anyway, thanks again, im about to head out and get my stuff b/f this gets bad!

 

good luck, i hope you dont lose power

 

Me 2 but i think we'll have some good winds, 50 mph + is expected, the only thing thats going to help us is im in a brand new neighbor hood, so the powerlines are brand new in my area, but im sure we are hooked into an older one somewhere.. :-/

 

! Snow! We got about an Inch already and It Just started 20 minutes ago here ...

Best of luck and hopefully you dont lose power!
