Houston, we have snow... Its 1:00pm and flurrying in Silverdale
LOL Alrighty, let's get this thread back on track, before it needs to be moved to the weather channel forum.
Let's discuss tips, suggestions and possible remedies, to difficulties we can all face, during winter storm season.

All the outdoor faucet covers are in place.
Hoses are dissconnected.
Water at all around the property(except the main house) is shut off.
The pump house has the heating light on.
The generators are stationed at the different buildings that might need power.
I brought my RO-Unit inside so it wont freeze and ruin the filters.
I would have liked to gotten more water made, but I got caught with my pants down.
Which is why I saw fit to warn everyone so they could do some last minute preparations.
Only have 40 gallons to spare, enough for top offs and one water change. Hopefully I can get in a half a day sometime in the next week. Otherwise Ill have to make my RO at the main house in the garage where its warm and setup to accept an RO-unit and its waste.
Now I wait for it to hit. Maybe even spare a little sympathy for the dogs and cat, and let them in the garage for the night.

Not really fair when you start below 10 degrees....
Almost snowed out of Montana on a trip yesterday. Then almost snowed in!
We couldn't land in Billings or Helena, made it to Bozeman, then almost didn't get out of Billings. De-iced twice while they plowed the runway, and finally got out.
The runway is behind the plane in this pic.... can you see it? !!!!
Folks from Montana are a sturdy breed

Sort of funny.... the visibility to take off is roughly 1/2 the runway. Because if you can see the first half, by the time you reach 1/2 way you can see to the end.
Thank God for good pilots and equipment!

Just a note for equipment to have on hand. RadioShack inverter pack. These allow AC low voltage items to run off a car/rv/boat battery for many hours. Very inexpensive and some run up to 500 wats for 2-3hrs, but I prefer to run several 12w Korralas and tank heater to limp by for 6-9hrs. Safer and quieter than generators. Besides, you can recharge the batteries w/the generator if need be via charger. Anyone remember the snow that killed power for weeks. Even gas stations couldn't pump.
Have a safe holiday ahead!

Sigh....
The septic is all backed up. That can only mean one thing...frozen turds.
How fun is that! Gotta start digging in the snow.

Hey quick question on that, would you recharge the battery directly from the generators 12v DC ports or use a regular battery charger on the generators 110v?
I guess at that point it would be best to hook up the inverter to the generators 12v or just hope the generators 110v is clean enough not to cause any trouble
I'm a generator n00b

I hope you were able to make it and it went well!
