Are you ready for Cato?

Two hours ago it was late fall. Now it's winter. Dang! I was making good progress on the woodpiles before this....

Lost power about an hour ago. Should've down better on my storm supplies. (Gas, beer running pretty low). Didn't think we would lose it but its not looking good. 4 down power lines within a mile.

Hope you have a back up bottle of booze!

Power stayed on here. We used to have the power out several times a week, and multiple times a year for 6+ hours, or days. Haven't had a problem with that in 5 years or so (the same age my generator is). I think my neighbors owe me a thank you,,,,,, or just maybe it was the tree work they did on about 15 miles of road that was about 10 years overdue.

Had 9 inches here today, still snowing, but probably won't get more than another 1/4 inch or so looking at the radar and what's coming down.

My snowblower just did its first job of it's 30th season, and for the first time, gave me a little trouble. Shut down like I tripped a safety switch, turned it off, or ran flat out of gas 4 times. Took a few minutes before it was willing to restart the first time, then started right back up the other times it stalled, but then ran great for the last 20-some minutes I needed it. Ran great the first hour or two. Since it's intermittent, time will tell what I find, but hoping I just got some heavy, wet snow somewhere that was giving me an electrical issue and it's a one time thing. Our snow usually (thankfully) isn't as heavy as this was.

Good luck to all cleaning out in preparation for Thanksgiving, and I hope it's a great one for all as well.

I'm not a religious man, but at times like these when I'm trapped in a house full of women with no power I thank God for the generator.

Gonna try cooking the turkey on the grill

Southern nh is in for another multiday outage. Boooo. 4th one in 6 years.

 

[hossthehermit]

So far, a few power flickers, (knock wood). About a foot here, wet, heavy, got the truck warmed up and cleaned off about 20 minutes before my plow guy showed up, so that worked out well. Looks like it's about over, few flakes still driftin' down .............Have a good one, everybody ................................

Went out to get gas this morning and over a dozen saplings were crossing the driveway. End of the road had a utility pole snapped in two, with the transformer on the other side of the street. I counted over 10 breaks/shorts in the distribution line in less than 3 miles to the main road. It's not a heavily populated road, so we're out for a few days.

Whoo Hoo!

Looks like 67,000 in ME are without power. Time for some creative turkey roasting.

 

[kennyp2339]

My favorite way to make a turkey in using a the charbroil oiless fryer, season the turkey with creoloe butter, simply the best without the oil clean up and not dried out like the oven roasting method

We ended up with 14" plus another 1" last night. Had turkey day at the in-laws in the dark yestarday. Only lost power for an hour here by some miracle. 54% of town has been out for over 24 hours. Sure is pretty tho. Free wood is already popping up on craigslist so that's a silver lining

I was waiting for someone to post a shot of Green Hornet's able driver. (Though his name is spelled Kato).
