Hi tom,
I trust your doing alright?

 

[Hilmar]

Hi Dave
What model and how big a generator you got?
What ever leaves is left on the trees does not help with the snow on top of it.
Hilmar in NY State wit 6" of Snow and 5 hrs of no power


PS: for the house or shop

 

[steamer]

Home depot bought
it has a 11 HP Subaru. Robin engine

I think its 6500 watt. The trees had their a$$es handed to them......

Last news report isnt very encouraging, could last "days" for some. Budget well and best of luck.

May someday get around to building a steam generator for such emergencies. The trees can then giveth what they taketh away.

 

[steamer]

Well the weatherman lied. We didn't get 12" of snow. We got 15"

As to when the power is coming back. I figure a couple of days
now I need to worry about my generator or gas being stolen out of driveway

 

[steamer]

Well
The national guard is in town for the duration......again.

20" of snow in western mass 50 miles west of me

Dave

 

[chuck foster]

20" ......holy crap i trust all is as well as can be expected??

chuck

 

[steamer]

Yes we'll be fine. But the mighty oaks and maples were beat up
bad. To say nothing of the powerlines beneath them

Dave

[steamer]

I have no explanation for this....

Yesterday our good Mayor announced that it would be 4-5 days before power came back.....yuck!

OK I hunkered down....went to a nearby town and got some more gas for the generator...took over an hour in line to do it....

Got settled in for the night to melodious song of my generator running ...and

At 3 am the power came back.......all the lights in the house were on....

There's still wires and trees down....but the powers up

Wisely they cancelled school for today....my kids aren't going anywhere until I know where all the downed wires are...

Dave

Here's some photo's from Saturday night about 7pm or so....before the power went
The neighbors arborvitaes took a beating and were about to colapse on my boat...I put the boat in the driveway and put my truck in the front yard....did I mention I like 4WD....

 

[Lakc]

Glad to hear you were one of the first back up!

 

[bezalel2000]

Hi Dave

I hope the weather clears up soon -

*&(^@*&^*&@ Weather!

It's playing havoc with your keyboard :big:

Glad to hear you came through it in one piece.

Thanks Guys!

I have some photo's of the destruction ....once I get them off the droid.

I have some bronchitis that I need to attend to today...so maybe later.

Thanks for the well wishes!

Dave

 

[Captain Jerry]

Hang in there, Dave. Help is on the way. On my drive back from eastern Tennessee yesterday, we met fleets of Utility Company trucks headed north.

Jerry

 

[steamer]

Good to hear Jerry! I'm pretty handy and take care of lots of things that happen around the house in a situation like this.....

If you don't have that skill set....your in deep do!...

Many thanks to all you guys on the front line of this thing...much appreciated! :bow: :bow: :bow:

Bronchitis is something to take very seriously. Make that your #1 priority. Keep warm and be safe.

Cheers
