You want to open up a faucet at the lowest point to take any pressure out and leave it open after the water is shut off

Thanks Franklin.

Gfs gives us flow snow next Thursday. Funny how it completely shadows the foothills.

No, it’s not funny. It’s our normal.

Next weekend's storm doesn't exist until next Tuesday, as far as I'm concerned. Only enough bandwidth for one of these things at a time LMAO

Yeah if its like this one it'll happen middle of the following week. I'm just bummed because I was supposed to go see Spamalot in Charlotte on Sunday and now it's been canceled/rescheduled to next Tuesday which ain't happening. :/

Yeah no kidding.  A lot of things are being rescheduled or canceled this weekend and the first of next week.

I’m not even sure we will all have power or internet to track another storm at this point.

HRRR cranks the snow up around 3-4PM tomorrow. Should have at least 5-6 hours of snow in the northern mountains with that finger of precip.

I am ready. Got the generator, 3 loads of firewood, 2 weeks of food, Starlink, full propane tank. Ready to thrive and report.

Ha,too bad I won't be able to see your reports, lol.  Did split a fare amount of firewood yesterday.  Coincidentally, today I am working on the same drainage system as I did leading up to Helene.  Some critter decided to start plugging the pipes with mud so I had to dig it up, dang varmits.

[Met1985]

Yeah looks like about 4 hours of snow here according to the HRRR then a mix then freezing rain.

[Met1985]

This is for the border but this will end up playing a major factor in this storm as well.

Just finished pumping out and cleaning the outdoor jacuzzi. Filling it back up now while I have this 50 degree weather. At least we'll have 700 gallons of hot fresh water!
