    Same

    That’s pipe busting weather, sucks.
    Good luck you guys. I hope you find a way to manage. Ugh

    I’m looking into finally getting a generator because when we lose power, we also lose water and heat.

    Many people here have generators,
    my ex, my mom, not me 🤨.
    We don’t get a lot of snow but ice normally takes the power out.
    I’m praying my screeching heater holds on through the winter.🤞
    If you can manage it, you should get one, those suckers are expensive.
    Hope you don’t have any outages! 🙏


    Unfortunately, we have many outages. The good generators cost an arm and a leg but I’m looking for something that will at least just keep the water flowing. Cross your fingers my research yields something good.

    Well water I assume..

    8k watt gen should be plenty. Have one for decades.

    Note.. higher wattage = cost more to run.

    Yes and thank you thank you thank you

    Check out northern tools gen.. look for one that have Honda engine.. (not the Honda generator.. they are $$$).

    Extra money but worth getting one that can do multi fuel.. gas, lp or ng.

    How the hours spent with your favorite human feel like minutes instead of hours.

    ....And the cold wind thats dropping the temperatures fast. It was 52 ° at 11 am. Its supposed to be 35 by 2 pm 😢 Not looking forward to the negative temps this weekend.

    Ugh. Was hoping to leave for (and return from) the grocery store before the snow started, but got delayed dealing with a demanding new client 😑
    My own fault. I should've just said no

    I feel like I have an extra shadow,
    or maybe a stalker.
    I can’t begin to explain how irritated it makes me.

    Relief

    When road condition & visibility got bad he pulled over and waited for a more experienced driver with a better car to come get him. They switched vehicles and crawled home. And then it stopped snowing

    Bitter cold is here and I procrastinated as usual so now I have no goose down to wear.

    I thought 6° was cold. That's what it was on my drive to the airport this morning. Stay warm!!

    Walking the half mile from the parking lot to my office in the snow and wind chills approaching -25F (-32C).

    I will not complain about the weather today. It's 52 F here in Charlotte and only 11 F back home.

    That’s a long walk. I did that for a couple of weeks a few years ago for a temp job. Cold, icy, windy, miserable. Even worse than the brutalist architecture was the brutal weather

    I forgot my snow boots at the office last week had to shovel my car out in heels and get myself to work without my boots. But on the bright side the snow is sooooo pretty.
