I think the proper term is suicide cords! Be safe man, throw that main breaker.

Appears the ice is going to stay a couple of counties east and south of us. I got the generator ready yesterday, just in case. I probably have 7" of snow so far. Interstates in KC are virtually parking lots.

Shop smart. Shop S-Mart.
They are forcasting about 1/4 inch of ice in my area. It is supposed to move in late tonight and into tomorrow morning. I'm hoping it's less or none at all.
At least I have Fridays off from work.
I'll be bringing in a little extra firewood after work today though.
Stay safe.

Snow, Hail and Rain
We got about four inches of snow yesterday and it got down to just below freezing last night. This morning about 3:00 AM I was up listening to thunder and then hail came down.
It hailed pellets about the size of mothballs and really covered the streets about 1/2" deep with them. Street crews were out with blades moving it to the shoulders.
Then came freezing and heavy rain. Later it just turned to rain and everything is melting. Sure has been quite a ride.

Looks like it's going to quit for a few hours then the wrap around snow comes in.

Grew up in this area so yo-yo weather is normal
The first day of arriving in Maine, stationed there for a while(navy), it snowed 18", the next day 24". I didn't see bare ground till spring. That was different!

It is raining here, which is normal until August, when it might not rain.

Spent the day playing in the white stuff - drywall mud, that is. Watched the storm hit about noonish, and now it's tapered off after dumping about 4 inches. Came home early, took a nice long hot shower, and now I'm sitting by the stove, all nice and toasty, while my wife is preparing the stir-fry for tonight. Smells awesome, I can tell you. Life is good. Just wish we would have had a little more snow. :msp_thumbup:
