Almost up to zero. Was -6 when I first looked this morning.



Local weather keeps waffling between all snow or some sleet mixing in. Hoping for all snow.

Had ice pellets coming down for a little while here.
Generator is in place and I have 25 gallons of diesel.

I missed out on a free flight to Key West Florida Friday morning courtesy of the US Air Force. If I had checked the flight schedule Thursday instead of Friday I would have been on that flight and I'd be typing from the beach instead of hunkered down in PA waiting for snow storm to hit :-(

My nephew in Pendleton, SC texted me an update this morning. Well below freezing temps. and ice predicted, with accompanying loss of power. He's got a full size camper and his propane tanks are full. He also has a small generator. He told me he's as ready as he'll ever be.

How are campers to heat in cold weather? Most are metal are they insulated underneath?

I've seen a few of his videos and he is a talented Trump impersonator. Here is his take on this storm.

It’s 28° and dropping in central Texas. We’re ready with plastic to curtain off one room, candles and a cement block/brick to put them in to create heat., gtg food wise. Now we wait till the power goes out. Did laundry earlier.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Most are 3-season. We had our 5th wheel in the Big Bend part of Florida in the low 30s at night and burned through 30 pounds propane in one night.

We are at 44, it was close to 70 yesterday and I was at the range shooting. I’m glad I splurged a couple years ago to buy a whole house gen since I no longer worry about losing power. Hopefully there will not be a large power outage during this storm.

With a lot of effort and reconnecting, I now have my gas fireplace up and running as emergency heat if needed.

Now m generator will just concentrate on the perishables.
