Sorry, Dfen! The temperature here has been similar to yours. I know (I hope!)it will warm up soon, but I have only been outside twice without needing a jacket and long pants.

Cold & windy here. We're supposed to get more snow today thru Saturday.....a few inches expected now. The big part is supposed to be around the Boston area with lots of snow and hurricane type winds...at least that's what they're telling us here. I saw a video of Atlantic City NJ and it was windy and snowing hard there this morning. They can keep it. I still have 8 foot piles of snow in my yard!

Jeep I am in Boston and it is not doing a thing right now but it is going to rain here today 1 to 3 inches of rain and yes hurricane type winds are expected. I did not bring an umbrella because it will not do any good.

Glad to hear Boston is OK so far. Nothing worse than blowing snow. Hope the winds don't get as bad as expected. It's just breezy here. I am with Ginger......please let this winter end! Bring on Spring and Summer....

we are suppossed to get flurries here in the Boston area. Poured out last night and very windy. a lot of people North and West of the city are without power. Downed trees and they think a tornado might of hit on the Massachusetts, New Hampshire border.

I can't say that I blame you Ginger. I think this is the first winter in a long time that Boston has not gotten a lot of snow. That is why Scoot hasn't heard me complain a lot this winter. I am just hoping that we have some what of a spring this year, instead of going from winter to summer and then from summer to winter

No snow here....yet. We might get a small backlash later. Big story are the winds, up to 60mph thru today. I haven't lost any trees yet and am keeping my fingers crossed. Still have power too.

I had a full house natural gas powered generator installed this summer to make sure if we lost power that my Mom would be warm and have lights and her TV etc. I keep hoping for a big old power outage! I hate my neighborhood and would love nothing more than to be the only house in the area with power, then I would turn on all the lights and keep the door open as if my house is too hot, lol.

Hukd I live in fear of losing power. I never heard of a full house natural gas powered generator. What does something like that cost?

Hukd, I have one of those generators too. Love it. I live in the boonies and I've been without power for up to 5 days for minor weather events. My road is apparently last on the list for repairs. Mine operates on propane...have an underground tank.

Aw, thanks Ginger, but we're fine! I love New York winters and everything that comes with them! We didn't get it as badly as the Rochester area, in fact our school district was open today. Nothing around us was, but ours was. The administrators are idiots!

I got a Guardian 8500 watt generator, and the cost installed was in the vicinity of $6000.00. That included a 2nd transfer switch box because we have separate electric utilities. Those are hung right next to the 2 fuse boxes in the basement. That wattage is sufficient for our boiler (it's a duplex, one boiler for both apartments), all of the lights and outlets on the main floor, and the lights in the upper floor. So basically, it would power everything we run other than the washer/dryer, and her electric stove. I have a gas stove and she would still have her microwave, so we'd be all set for any needs.



Personally, I would be fine if we lost power for a while, but my Mom wouldn't be. She has Alzheimer's and last winter when we lost power for less than a full day, she paced all day, from her couch to the windows, and seemed unable to even handle the flashlight! And there wasn't any way to get her to go over to one of my sister's houses because she's stubborn as an old mule.

The point of buying the natural gas powered one is that natural gas flows no matter what! A gasoline or propane powered one would require me to have to run for refills, and hey, storing a large amount of either is pretty dangerous.

How's the weather? Confused!

It was nasty for several days, really bad Wednesday when it got so cold and windy. Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous, warm during the day, cool, but not cold in the late afternoon during the girls practice. Today, cold, grey, and not very pleasant.
