imschur Posted February 8, 2013 Report Posted February 8, 2013 Needless to say there is a reasonable chance I will go off the grid if the blizzard is all it can be
Microgunner Posted February 8, 2013 Report Posted February 8, 2013 Batten down and stay warm. Running the AC here in Florida.Just so you know what you're missing. ;D
imschur Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Posted February 8, 2013 They are talking gusts up to 85 mph. That is stronger than Sandy and the wind storm we had a few weeks ago. Both were pretty devastating.If we lose power I have standing pilot hot water and stove. I also have a blue flame heater on a flexible hose in the basement. Im not opposed to drilling a hole in the hardwood floor to re-locate the gas line. Im in the 12"-24" zone. Even 6" with wind is a disaster around here.This is going to suck
98Z5V Posted February 8, 2013 Report Posted February 8, 2013 Bottled water, toilet paper, milk. Got a generator, brother?
imschur Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Posted February 8, 2013 Nah man Im in an apartment building. Even if I did get crazy i would have to post armed guards. Savages here stole the ladder right off the house as I worked.
98Z5V Posted February 8, 2013 Report Posted February 8, 2013 You are the armed guard, brother... <thumbsup> <laughs>
edgecrusher Posted February 8, 2013 Report Posted February 8, 2013 Come on up Drew! Not sure how bad it is going to be up here, but you, Toby and the little woman are more than welcome! I'll have my beast gassed and ready, a good half cord of wood in the basement, wood stove roaring, and a case of beer!Either way, to all those in the storms path, be safe!

imschur Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Posted February 9, 2013 The snow is now deeper than the bed of my Tundra. Windy as hell with MASSIVE drifts forming.
98Z5V Posted February 9, 2013 Report Posted February 9, 2013 Tomorrow will be AWESOME for making some real, no-poop snow caves! I wish I was there with you, brother. <thumbsup>

Rsquared Posted February 9, 2013 Report Posted February 9, 2013 Well now. It's starting to look like I might not be heading back to the Stamford CT. area on Monday. Unless I take my own shovel. <laughs>
98Z5V Posted February 9, 2013 Report Posted February 9, 2013 Damn! :o That didn't take long. Be careful, brother.
imschur Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Posted February 9, 2013 We got about 3" in the hour I was out snow blowing.There has not been one plow on my road. The snow is at the tops of tires of the compact cars
