I'm about as far west as you can go in IL.
They are saying up to an inch of ice and wind...
Our power Co. has a policy regarding pole replacement...wait till they blow over.

Checklist:
Saws ready to go.
361 in truck tool box. (Extra chain, mix oil)
Generator serviced and full of fresh gas.
10 extra gallons of gas.
Big load of firewood inside.
Lotsa candles (small generator)
Full bottle of Crown Royal

Am I forgetting anything?

Water
Mix (if you mix)
Radio and extra batteries
Flashlight and extra batteries

Amorous wench who won't drink all the crown royal but will tend the woodstove:cheers:
 
We're suppose to get 6-12" of snow tomorrow, and about the same again on Sunday. Looks like it'll be an interesting weekend.
 
Yeah, it is coming here too. If my wife makes it to work and back tomorrow, we can mostly hibernate until the first of the year. I debated about filling the truck up on my way home, or if I should give gas a chance to come down more. I won't be driving it much the rest of the year. With the weather, I may be happy I have a full tank to rob for the generator. All I have to do is pull a hose off the carb, and flick the switch I wired to the fuel pump.

The generator isn't much good if you can't get to the gas station or it doesn't have power. I am still thinking of a natural gas conversion. At the end of 04, we had an ice storm and some people right in town didn't have power for 2 weeks. Luckily the weather stayed above freezing. A lot of the time it goes down to 0 after a storm.
 
I got a shotgun, rifle and a 4 wheel drive.

Me too!

Dapper Dan it looks like you have enough firepower that there is no way you'll run out of fuel or crown, and can protect the amorous wench just fine!
