squonk 38,952 #3 Posted March 2, 2018 Power just went out and my work phone and personal cell phone rang at the same time. SNOW DAY! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 10,747 #4 Posted March 2, 2018 my power is still on, but it's been fluctuating. Hopefully it will stay on for the coal boiler, they can be a bear to relight at times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully it will stay on for the coal boiler, they can be a bear to relight at times. I hear my furnace running. And if the power goes out for a while I have my gas stove that uses no electricity. May have to mount the Genny on Skonk though for the reefer. Edited March 2, 2018 by squonk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tell ya, just weird. And to think I sent in money to be a "supporter" . What the heck??? Squonk, I hope you survive the storm, If its gets really bad, at least you'll be in a good mood . 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 38,952 #9 Posted March 2, 2018 Power kicked off again. pine trees with their branches drooping to the ground. About 5 " of wet glop so far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WNYPCRepair 1,875 #10 Posted March 2, 2018 Woke to about 8" of wet heavy snow here just north of Buffalo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,147 #12 Posted March 2, 2018 About 6 wet inches here. Going to be terrible to clean up as the driveway was muddy before it started snowing and didn't freeze up. Plus it it is wet and heavy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,828 #13 Posted March 2, 2018 Just a dusting here in SC Pa., But the remaining 15 dead spruce trees are shaking badly. Sure glad I took down the 5 near the house. Only one short power interruption this morning. I have the wood stove stoked...no AC required. The bad news is , I am leaving in an hour to pick up my Grandson at Penn State after his last class at 4:30. Sure hope none of the big rigs get tipped over on Rt 322.

c-series don 7,843 #14 Posted March 2, 2018 It's really starting to crank up here on eastern Long Island. Just had a gust had to be over 50 mph. The weather channel has people on the beach in Montauk which is about 30 miles to the east of me. Also just heard on my scanner a nieghboring fire department get called for a tree that blew over onto a car with occupants trapped inside. Hope they are ok. Tides are very high now in the bay which is about a quarter mile for my home with severe erosion going on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aldon 4,826 #15 Posted March 2, 2018 We got 14-15 inches. Heavy and wet. Still coming down but slower and mostly melting now where it hits driveway. Here are some pics when I cleared it out earlier... 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aldon 4,826 #17 Posted March 2, 2018 I like snow. I absolutely need to live where there are 4 distinct seasons. However once we get to March, I’m ready for Spring and snow becomes a bit of a boor. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shallowwatersailor 3,213 #22 Posted March 3, 2018 The wind was a killer down here with 69 mph gusts recorded and three deaths in the area. Woke up this morning to find this tree down. Actually it was a self-loading tree - as it fell across an empty firewood rack. The poor carport took its third hit since we moved here eight years ago and missed the house by about 15 feet.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,828 #23 Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) Sorry to see that John. At least the truck dodged a bullet. I just got back from a 8 hour white knuckle round trip to Penn State. Not much fun being sandwiched between the 18 wheelers in the 50 MPH winds. Made it back home safe though and no trees down that I could see in the dark. The power was off several times. I just heard ....a big rig has flipped on the Norman Wood bridge. Officials say it will remain closed until the winds lay enough to remove the truck. Probably Sunday. The bridge spans the Susquehanna River in southern Pa. Edited March 3, 2018 by Ed Kennell 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,828 #24 Posted March 3, 2018 Yep, both lanes blocked. The Amish buggies may be able to squeeze through. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 9,060 #25 Posted March 6, 2018 I know I am late to this thread lost power 12 noon on Friday and finally got it back 8:50 PM last night. Probably get in trouble with this : About 2 years ago I purchase a 13 hp electric start generator 7000 watts up to 58 AMPs from HF. Ran that thing the whole time only stopping for fuel, oil ( none used ) and from 11:30 PM until 7:30 AM while sleeping . Ran like a top. Heated house some lights, refrig.. I would highly recommend this generator. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
