    32F snow has stopped

    Bobutts,  for me it's not about the money anyway but the convience of not dealing with gas,oil, fumes and setup outside.  Keep it in the closet, pull it in and plug stuff in.  Go back to bed.  Woodstove provides heat.

    Yeah, I just mean you would have had to pay a ton for something that didn't work well 10 years ago and now that's not the case.

    32.0F  Light to almost moderate snow.   Where did this come from?   It started an hour ago with snow grains which I assumed was from the moist low level flow.  Over the past 15 minutes it's legit snow with goof flakage.  Ground is dusting white.  Edit:  Snow back to very light

    Could this be a real birch bender/blue bomb up here tonight?  If so we are redy. Recently bought a Jackery solar generator. 1000plus.  No more starting the genny outside and dealing with all that at 1 in the morning.  This is quiet power, no cords running outside anymore.  I charged it yesterday via the sun and it should run refrig, lights etc. for 24 hours if need be.  Honda genny is still here for backup.  

    Nice, 2k watts is not bad at all for the money.  These things are way more viable than they were not long ago.  Was just outside and it feels like snow despite my expectations for almost none from this.  Makes me feel better to know that it's not that far away.

  3. I made it several years with a plug in electric show thrower.  It actually is great to use up to 6" or so before it's overwhelmed.  The consistently bad part is the end of the drive where the plow piles it.  For larger storms just have to go out multiple times.  My first gas model got messed up because some genius delivered a phone book right before a storm and it embedded itself so well in the snow thrower that I had to hack it out with a reciprocating saw and titanium blade.  Never worked right after that.  Finally got a larger quality gas model several years go, was well worth it.
