I had a gas generator installed after the last ice storm. Looks like it may come in handy this week.

Hopefully not..they're saying the lion's share of the ice as freezing rain will be further east.  But the winter storms are so much harder to predict.

I've been gearing up to scoff at the standard Okie snow terrors accompanying anything from flurries on upwards, but this one looks like it's the real deal.  Very exciting stuff.

I really liked yesterday.  Bring on spring.

I have fuel in the generator, chopped wood, ammo, and jars of peanut butter. I will be dawning my snow cammo and retreating into the family bunker.
