    had the high winds here yesterday and last night, lost power briefly. but it came right back on. my first thought was the tank. i have the battery air pump and recently purchased small generator. its still new in the box and i would love for it to stay there, lol ... im hoping the winter is threw. there have been some nasty snow storms here last year and this year. about a half mile from my house. a huge pine tree fell last night on someones home from the winds :(
    being in a new development means less trees which are trouble in these winds, so hopefully you will slip threw the storm without any trouble :) .

    That is very true, The snow has begun, and i got back just in time, time for me to start my fug project, and play some black-ops lol what else is there to do?! lol i picked up 2 battery air pumps from wally-world, and crossing my fingers, and in my yard i have a few pine's that are about 10-12 ft tall so it'll slow it down a little but if the tree's dont tip we'll be good, but then again, ill have free firewood! no more buying it lol

    12" in Green Bay should be normal, lol. ;) I drove to Milwaukee this morning when the snow started. Not as much snow there as here, but a lot of Sunday drivers in the ditch.

    The lawn was showing yesterday.

    Yeah, it was bad. I couldn't use the snowblower because the snow drifted so high. Luckily, all of my neighbors pitch in when it's bad. The guy on the corner has a 4 wheeler with a plow, so he did the whole sidewalk down the block, and also the entire alley. Another neighbor had been called out to Desert Storm twice. When he was away, I did most of the snow blowing/shoveling for his wife. He's always out there with his big snow blower helping out. Single women live on both sides of me, so I shoveled out their front walks to the street. The snow piles were over my head. Even though my neighbor did a HUGE amount of snow moving, I shoveled just about the entire day. Had to go to my business after all of that, and get what the plow couldn't. I was kinda tired that day, and didn't even do any work that makes money.
