Icing like a mofo in central michigan.  Power is out in town and mine has flashed. Time to go out and get the genny ready.

Where I am in NH, it's still quite warm.  No icing yet.  The weather man says it'll happen later today as the colder temps sweep south.  Snow I don't mind, the ice can stay away.

Please be safe everyone, especially when operating a generator. 

Merry Christmas to everyone on this forum.

We woke up to a foot plus of snow overnight, and its all yours now north and east of here (Kansas).  Now the work starts, hopefully the light and fluffy variety that the tractor does not have to work so hard to move around.  The biggest single storm event I can remember for a few years around here!

Not too bad here, central maine.  Yet, Doppler is showing a break in the action, hope that all about a quarter inch I would say. Pine trees are weighed down but everything else is looking good. Still have power.

160,000 without power, me being one of them.  Genny running wood stove, furnace, fridge, and living room so I could watch the F-in Lions.  I did get out this morning with my dump truck and helped clear some roads.  Came home with a full load of oak, so my community service worked out!

We got hit pretty good. Lost about a third of the branches off our poplars. This pic is from this morning when the branches just started to fall. It's a mess out there now. It's gonna be grapple time for cleanup. This is one of the trees that plugged up my basement drain, yup Mr. Tree, karma is a bitcch.

Man that stinks watching the news this morning sounds like a lot of people are in the same boat you are in
Be carful

Hopefully you get it back on before Christmas Eve

All good here in Illinois where I'm at

I think the Chicago bears had ice on their finger tips last night.  Ouch

Boy is it a long 100ft walk to feed the boiler, slightly uphill, 1 step forward slide 30ft backward. Kids chiseled about 1 inch of ice of the walkway( had to bribe them). Bought some food for the deer, they didn't go to far when I started dumping.

the ash from your wood boiler gives great traction in the ice, take your boots off before going in the house or your wife may not be the happy little woman you know and love

No power here in central michigan since Saturday night.  Consumers Energy keeps pushing my restore date back.  Monday, then 11:30 Christmas night , and now Thursday night.  Gas for the gennie is killing me!  I still have to be thankful I have my burner and a gennie to run it all.  Trying hard to keep focused on that part, it could be a whole lot worse.

Merry Christmas y'all.
