re: Snow day

One of my extension cords was fricked up so I could only run a space heater at about 50%, my TV (Dish TYFYS), xbox and fridge but it was enough. Had a couple buddy heaters from hunting season and a Coleman stove and fortunately just enough propane while we were out weds-sat.

As for hurricane vs ice storm outages, I’d rather an ice storm any day. We were out 3 days in august after that storm. My generator was out at the time. Day wasn’t so bad but sleeping was miserable. In winter you just bundle up.



Took this on mardi gras the day before round 2. Fortunately round 1 was all sleet/snow but we got absolutely pelted with freezing rain in round 2. Fortunately they dropped sand on the main roads beforehand so the roads weren’t a total shitshow. It snows 1-2 times a year in central La but it’s been a while since we had a good ice storm.
