65 here today, 6-10" of snow tomorrow. Just when the grandkids were suppose to go back to school after 2 1/2 weeks off. Think my wife is leaving home !!!

Update. 2 hours of freezing rain followed by 15” of wet snow. 2 days without power and no idea when it will be back on. Can not get out as there is a tree across road and power lines every 50 yards. They can not plow because of all the downed trees. Gas stove keeping us warm but no well water without power. And with a house full the toilets are worse than port a pots. Ps I do have a small generator but have not used In 5 years and it is still not working. By the time I tear apart the carb I will not need for another 5yrs. At least it is going to get above freezing today. Talk to all soon

This is rapidly becoming the new normal. Take care and stay as safe as possible Kev
 
Thinking more and more about getting a Generac whole house generator. I just hate to spend the $$$.....right up until you need it and then is seemed worth it. Neighbor has one and has had it for years and never used it. It comes on once a month or so automatically to make sure the system is operational. But other that that just sits there.

I have plenty of water and food stored ......one of these days......

Like Ness suggested , bring buckets of snow in , let melt and use for flushing toilets (dump water right into toilet it will flush itself) and use it to wash and even cook if need be after boiling 20 mins.

I believe we shall see some very bad things while we are still alive in the up coming yrs. Prepare a lil every day.............................
 
Just wait until Millions are gone in the 1st day.
I have seen what this sick F**ks are able to do to each other and the weapons and chems they have stored away. And yes even the US has certain items that go against the Geneva Convention rules of warfare.

In Floriduh, we always make sure we have functioning generators. Best you fix yours and keep it fixerated.

Meanwhile: Get every wastebasket you've got that will hold water. And pots. Bowls. Go out a dozen times until all those containers are full of snow and placed fairly near your gas stove. Flush, then refill your toilets. Then fill any bottles you have for drinking water. Then go get some more snow.

I useta live on an mountaintop where I would frequently lose power and have to depend on the kitchen stove.

The water source is there for you for drinking, cooking, and sanitation.

IMPORTANT: NEVER use icicles. Birdies shiit all the time on your roof. When you get icicles, you are getting birdshit soup.
