Re: The weather
-8 F in Northern IL right now, 50 mph winds blowing the several inches of new snow around but that will create some deep drifts. Filled the 4018 with gas tonight, hopefully can make it to work tomorrow AM by 6:30 with 4WD and will deal with the snow later in the day.

Re: The weather
The winter storm is just starting here in WNY. The snow is coming in horizontal. I’m figuring with the wind gusts it’s only a matter of time before the power is out and my Generac starts up. Harry

As I was posting the previous message the power went out and the generator started. Harry

Re: The weather
Once again that Generac proves it was a good investment @Harry !
We have now two small generators, one I got from Dave and another which came up for sale cheap recently. Haven't yet figured out a way to hook them up to things in the house but watch me doing it like speedy Gonzales if the power goes out.
@Jancoe too bad you couldn't go ice fishing, hopefully soon!
@Timj don't you like it when the storm is not as bad as they forecasted? Hope it happens to us too.
@Gordy same happened to me last winter. What are you gonna do? Plan b?
@myerslawnandgarden how was the drive in this morning? Don't know if you get the same storm there but hope you get home safe!
