Marvin Posted January 29, 2022 Report Posted January 29, 2022 I just saw a report on Axios that a lot of records will be set this weekend. Good luck to everyone in the storm's path. 1 Quote
PromoTheRobot Posted January 29, 2022 Report Posted January 29, 2022 Oddly Buffalo is being spared for now. If the Bills were playing Sunday I would be there and my wife would divorce me for a man with a snow plow on his truck. 3 Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 29, 2022 Report Posted January 29, 2022 So far, so not as bad as they thought. It must have gone more over the Fundy coast and not the Atlantic coast. A few miles can make a huge difference. Expecting strong winds tonight, which is the worst part alwasy. 1 Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 30, 2022 Report Posted January 30, 2022 The storm was pretty bad last night and this morning we are still under a blowing snow and wind warning. Power held, which is the most important thing always. We are seriously thinking of a generator to keep us going during all these storms we have been having. 2 Quote

I have a 1800/2200 that does everything i need at about a gallon a day. And it’s really quiet. I know some people that wanted to power everything like the power never went out. They didn’t realize how much fuel that uses and ran out after about two hours and spent the next 2 days in the dark because they ran out of gas😂. 1 Quote

With any generator setup, please remember to have a proper installation done according to the electrical code of your region. This protects you insurance wise in the event of a problem and protects the powerline workers from unwanted back feed. I know guys that have been seriously injured by improper generator installations. 1 2 Quote
North Buffalo Posted January 31, 2022 Report Posted January 31, 2022 Yes you can purchase some sort of electrical box shut off switch installed by an electrician.. 1 Quote

Transfer switch. Usually they are manually operated and you fire up the generator and plug it in. Automatic systems are expensive but they turn on immediately when supply is lost. The main brand in Ontario is called Generac and they can run on Propane, diesel, gas or natural gas. 1 Quote

Doohicksie Posted February 3, 2022 Report Posted February 3, 2022 The same storm system affecting WNY right now is hitting Texas. 22°F and it's not snow yet, still sleet. Ugh. To be clear, that's not a dusting of snow, that's about a half inch of sleet and ice. 2 Quote

Ogelthorpe Posted February 3, 2022 Report Posted February 3, 2022 What a joke of a storm, and amazingly towns, county, and state still can't keep roads clear. Meteorologist and plow truck driver might be easiest and most worthless jobs there are. Quote
Indabuff Posted February 3, 2022 Report Posted February 3, 2022 Just had a plow trying to play chicken. He swerved back in his lane at the last moment. It was either the plow or a drainage ditch. Cargo (beer) made it home safe. I'm parkin' it. 1 Quote

Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 3, 2022 Report Posted February 3, 2022 (edited) Rain Storm today and overnight. Ice Storm all day tomorrow starting at 08:00. It's going to be fun. And the whole mess is going to freeze rock solid overnight tomorrow and Saturday will be -15 degrees. Edited February 3, 2022 by The Ghost of Doohickie more goodly ... 1 Quote

I have a friend who runs big machinery in the summers for ground work and plows in the winter and it all sounds ***** miserable when he talks about it. His body is halfway to busted and he's like 35. He loves his work but "easy" is not the word I'd use. 2 1 Quote

Rain all day yesterday, turned to sleet overnight, turned to snow just before lunch time. Down to the teens Fahrenheit tonight. In a house built for 100°F (which makes up for the fact that we're not going to get quite as cold as you). Yeehaw. Stay safe, NS. 2 1 Quote
North Buffalo Posted February 4, 2022 Report Posted February 4, 2022 Looks like rain til 10am here and then precip lets up around 4 or 5 pm. Luckily I get off work at 8am before it dips below freezing. Quote
