Re: The weather
Well this was unexpected.
This more was I expected this morning .
All that crazy wind and no trees down . But you get a little wet snow and boom . The snow is super wet and heavy sticking like glue to everything . The worst part is how it is sitting .Dave

Re: The weather
Snow warning is ended. All rain. That’s good. So still will be wet for the next day or two. 10C and sun for Monday. Woo hoo.

Re: The weather
Yesterday we woke up with that snow that Dave showed, and no power; sometime during the night a large transformer apparently went bust with flames and sparks and such . The whole area here went dark. As we live in this swamp, the sump pump was important, so the generator was mostly employed for that. Heat through a window from the diesel heater; I must say that is good device to have. Power came back early evening, thank God, and all came back to normal.

We were fortuneate this time no power outages over here . Glad it did not take too long to get your power back . One thing I have learned living out here is that having multible back up systems even if really simple ones are a absolute must for heat , some hydro and water .

Re: The weather
I agree Dave. It was a bit of an eye opener for me that the 5000W generator was struggling a bit with an electric heater of only 1200W and the sump pump on one outlet both. The diesel heater put more heat (5000W) with less effort and more efficiency. Live and learn they say.
