Get ready, gang ... this upcoming storm system could get nasty. :hatchet:
I'm not so much worried about the (possible) 6" of snow, but the ICE and really low temps can be deadly.
Everybody do what you gotta do to stay safe and warm. And be CAREFUL out there !!
Started generators today just as a precaution. Checked kerosene heaters and propane heaters. Still holding hope it will not be as bad as they are predicting.
This may be a good spot to throw this in, pull the batteries out of boat or make sure they are topped off with a good charge. Don’t store that outboard tilted up to fill the prop housing with snow and ice, my grandfather was a victim of that back in the [emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji639]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji639]]-[emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji639]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]] winter. Finally just had to replace lower unit. Just a couple thoughts that might save ya some trouble later. Stay safe all.
I have no clue what happened to that post !
Busted off gas logs to make sure. Some backup heat.
Got both of those situations taken care of : My batteries are kept in my apartment. My 90hp Merc is too long to stand upright. so I use plastic sacks & a small bungie cord around the prop to keep rain/snow out of the lower unit housing during the Winter.Quote:

Looking at a foot or so possible here. Generator is good, have gas in cans, 13 cords of seasoned firewood and food. I think we are good to go…

Got prepared but we had a couple of hours of freezing rain then just rain. Looks like we may be in for thunderstorms later today. Everybody here remembers Feb 2009 ice storm so most were ready.
Six to eight inches of snow here and now freezing rain on top of the snow.
Gas logs ready to go and generator on stand by.
Crappie fillets for dinner tomorrow night in hot grease!
Stay warm fellas! The crappie are thinking of us too! I’m sure!

Cold and saw lots of deer. Still after one target buck. Out tomorrow again. We got 14 inches total
Yep they’re getting hungry & looking hard for food around here. I saw a huge buck yesterday when I pulled in the driveway & a bunch of does. Also saw one that somebody had obviously made a bad shot on & hobbled her pretty bad.
Not all jeeps( I mean people) hate snow.
