ctenophore December 7, 2013 Share December 7, 2013 Just a heads up for those of you who don't pay much attention to weather forecasts. They're calling for ice which means potential power outages. Just by posting this I believe I just decreased my chances of any snow/ice by 25%. By pulling out and testing my generator this afternoon I will decrease that another 50%. So hopefully it turns out to be nothing, but don't risk your animals' lives by getting caught unprepared! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Ford December 7, 2013 Share December 7, 2013 I should go buy salt to decrease the chance a bit more.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lnevo December 7, 2013 Share December 7, 2013 Do your waterchange and turn the temp up on your heater one degree and you'll practically guarantee your safety! The only problem by posting this you almost guaranteed that someone unprepared will get hit hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimboy123 December 7, 2013 Share December 7, 2013 Maybe I can guarantee the storm by buying all of the available colonies and frags on WAMAS! Then I can bring the World to its knees and rule as the Ice King!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind December 7, 2013 Share December 7, 2013 I lost power about an hour ago. It was only for a few minutes but it was enough to get me off my butt and to go check the generator and battery air pumps. Thanks for the reminder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Origami December 8, 2013 Share December 8, 2013 I dragged my generator out of the shed and up the hillside to my back patio yesterday, slipping in the mud along the way. I think that I've decreased my chances of needing it by 75%. Without the mud, it probably would have only been 50%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squishie89 December 8, 2013 Share December 8, 2013 In Germantown we got a few inches of snow before the sleet started. Rockville only got maybe an inch before the sleet. Much more icy in Rockville. Be careful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn December 9, 2013 Share December 9, 2013 We started with the snow about 9am and it had basically stopped by the 3rdQ of that 'thing' called a football game and the snow totaled 8" ... There was some rain/sleet while I used the snowblower on the sidewalk and driveway. The generator is in the garage hoping that I don't call its name - it started up, reluctantly, yesterday but it still doesn't want to be used tonight or tomorrow. School has already been cancelled for tomorrow - not that we care, but others are happy :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR-Tanked150 December 9, 2013 Share December 9, 2013 Schools closed here. The snow plow have been pass 3 times already. Just enough snow to almost cover the grass outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind December 9, 2013 Share December 9, 2013 About an inch of snow and ice in Manassas, schools closed. Waiting to see if Fed Gov closes tomorrow.Schools in Loudoun County are closed too. Do you have the OPM app already, handy for weather like this? There has been two separate accidents on the street right in front of my house today so roads must be slippery.
