Just looked at Weather Street's animated graphic. Looks like yer goin to get most of the snow in your driveway.

Well now that the weather end of the fiasco is done, How did you fare???? I'm sure, since I live on the gulf coast and have weathered 4-5 hurricanes that your electricity is out.

Heard today that the Illustrious union electrical workers in New York started humiliating a bunch of crews that were non union out of Alabama that came up to help out. No one in governmental charge shut the union goons down and the crews packed up and headed back to Alabama.

In harrowing times like this, something as critical as getting power restored should take front row as far as priorities. Guess the union guys will let their fellow citizens suffer in lieu of taking emergency help.......

No big deal here for me, some heavy snow and power was out for awhile but I was prepared with a good generator that ran the whole house and a backup for it.

Plenty of food, water fuel and most importantly Toilet paper (an often forgotten much needed staple) We could go a month or two here without even leaving the place and there is plenty of wild game close by as well
