North eastern Ice storm!!

[Donutblue]

Jason, we got a good deal of black ice down here in Dutchess on the Taconic Parkway. I have New York State gas and electric so needless to say I use a generator frequently. I have a 10000 watt generator that I keep in my walk out basement - hook up is outside a short distance under my deck. I keep gas in it with Stabil, however about every 3 months I take it outside, run it for a while with a load on it. --

Here's a unit that runs off Natural Gas and kicks on automatically when your normal Power is lost.....Pretty Cool

Jason, my daughter called the power company this morning to get a restoration time and they said it would be Thursday at 8 AM. We were not happy about that. It was quite a surprise that around 12:30 the power went back on on my side of the mountain. Because we had the generator going my daughter and son-in-law spent a lot of time here where it was comfortable. I have a diesel unit that runs the whole house and the electric heated apartment. Sure used a lot of diesel but it was well worth it. I hope they get you on pretty soon. The guys who were working on our section were from Elmira. With all the trees on the wires they did not have an easy job.

I run a Winco 9500 Watt Industrial gas generator which handles my house and garage nicely. The problem here in our part of New Hampshire was you couldn't get gas. The few stations that had power also had wicked looong lines with a few reported fist fights erupting! My sons in Rollinsford and Milton, NH still didn't have power this morning. No Power - Good Cuddling!!!
