Right now, I'm trying to work on Plan B, for tonight if we don't have power yet. Dogs will have to go to the kennel, and we'll have to hit a hotel for the night.

we never lost power or anything. but the roads here are a sheet of ice. i tryed going to work. but they said hwy 6 and 92 eastbound are closed. inpassable. and the state troopers won't let you off the interstate. if you live in that vicinity yes. i need to borrow some brake drums for weight. channel 7 said if you don't have to go out don't..... so i tryed and i found myself stuck in places. red lights mostly.

Didn't get as much as predicited, but more came as rain that thought, which made for quite the mess. Thankful for cybercommuting.... lol... That didn't even pan out so well yesterday, as I lost power for about 5 hours. No more than get the generator hookup figured out here, and within about 5 minutes the power was back on... Ran the snow blower last night, gave the tractor quite a workout, the snow itself is so heavy. Still quite muddy under the snow, so got the wife's Traverse stuck. Got out with the 88 F250, didn't realize the transfer case didn't stay engaged, so got out with it in 2wd...
