You're lucky. We have had a couple of feet here, and up in Oswego, I'm sure you've heard 10 feet of snow. Yuck! Be safe tomorrow. Hopefully you won't have to leave the house for anything.

until I was taken out by a storm
I thought only briefly about hurricanes, tornados, etc in other parts of the country. After being without power in below freezing temperatures for over a week after an ice storm that destroyed my trees and messed up my house, I have a new empathy for storm victims. The total lack of control made me realize how much we take for granted. Glad you are okay!
Ice Storm
So I am new to being in a state with cold weather and horrible snow storms. When I say new, I have been here about 10 years but we have only had 1 major ice storm that knocked out power for days. We stayed with my in-laws and it was no big deal. They have generators. Well, now the in-laws already have a family of 5 staying with them so the house is a bit crowded. We are a family of 3.5 ourselves so I would like to avoid that if at all possible. We have a gas stove and would still be able to cook. Also have a gas water heater but our water runs on a well with a pump so that is limited along with toilet use. We have gas central heat but I'm assuming with no electricity the air won't get pushed through the house?
My question is - do any of you have great ideas for how to stay warm with no electricity other than the obvious of snuggling in bed.
snow storm
It's headed our way tonight in Upstate NY. We're suppose to get over a foot. Tomorrow it is suppose to be snowing all day long. It'll be one of those days when I REALLY appreciate working from home.
Upstate NY Storm
Where in Upstate NY do you live? I live just outside of Syracuse and we've been buried in snow lately. But I did drive to NYC this weekend, and once I hit Cortland there was no snow anywhere. Everyone be safe.
When we had a major ice storm last
February, schools were let out early (10 a.m.) and the info was posted on a crawl at the bottom of the TV and on the radio. No parents were called.
I do believe it is the same storm system s/m
Not sure when it turns to ice though. If I remember from the radar last night, looked like southwest to northwest Ohio is going to get hit with this too. Not sure about Sunday's storm yet. I tried to pull up the radar, but it isn't showing for tomorrow yet.
My daughter is supposed to be driving up from Dayton tomorrow and going back on Sunday, but I warned her not to. She just might have to stay!

I had a "great surge protector," i.e., an expensive one, that was supposed to protect against a lightening strike. Guess what? Lightening struck my modem anyway! I was down several days while I waited for a new modem to be installed. Not too happy with my protector and will never trust again.
