[Grimwald]

1. Cleared vapocolypse shelf.
2. Charged all batteries (even stored backups) - 16 18650s and 6 18350s and 3 14500s
3. charged reserve power supplies
4. charged internal battery mods (11 of those)
5. charged 8 old ego batteries
6. charged 5 old kr808d batteries (still have cartos and T4s)
7. filled car with gas for car charger
8. mixed 250 mil of unflavored liquid

OK, bring it on. If you don't hear from me...I'll be fine.

As far as I know we haven't had an ice storm warning but I started the checking and charging of ALL of my backups yesterday I would add one more thing to my list of things to do and that is, stock up extra gas for the generator.

Hopefully the weather folks will be wrong and the ice storm passes you by .... I can say, from experience, they are not fun.

Weather here in the Northeast is crazy so I always keep prepared. Stay safe!

hehehehe... almost every day here has been a "red alert weather" day... so yep, making sure all batteries are charged is a must... at least i can use my mods as hand warmers.

Reminds me of our hurricane warning a few months back.

Time for me to put on my plaid shorts and long black socks to go mow the lawn.

They said snow, the said rain, they said nature's bringin' the pain.
Yet it's dry and it's clear, mods all charged, not shedding a tear.
Here it comes, that powdery white
Not a blade of green grass in sight.
Mods all charged, my cotton's soaked.
I vape on, time for another toke.

With sandals, I hope.

Stay safe, @Grimwald. Just hoping if the storm changes course, it is to the south and not to the north.

Yeah, well 2 days ago it was in the 60's here, and now it's freaking snowing. I hate winter. I think I'll go take a nap.

Stay safe, @Grimwald. Just hoping if the storm changes course, it is to the south and not to the north.

And we in Kentucky say, "Thanks a lot".

Once it moves out of here, you Kentuckians are on your own!

 

[OlderNDirt]

Well, I should learn to keep my sarcastic comments to myself. They changed it a bit alright. I am now right on the line between a Winter Storm Warning and Ice Storm Warning! I better start charging batteries!

 

[Grimwald]

Just gotta remember to be careful with the metal drip tips.

Never gets old...

 

[Grimwald]

I hope, when it gets here, it's pink like on the radar map.

 

[somdcomputerguy]

..it's pink like on the radar map.

Just don't eat the yellow snow..

 

[Grimwald]

Just don't eat the yellow snow..

I'm an old northern boy (Northern IN)...learned that as a youngin' (back before global warmimg). Back then the snow was often up to my chest (of course, I was like 2 years old and 2 feet tall).

 

[Robino1]

May the storm pass you by without losing power. Good that your prepared!

 

[Joergl100]

Just don't eat the yellow snow..

...and watch out where the huskies go!

Our ice storm hit a couple of days ago. It took a half hour to chisel my car free. Footing was precarious, but I managed not to fall. It was still raining, freezing rain, and I was soaked, and my eyeglasses iced up before I got back into the car. The drive home was slow and stressful, but overall uneventful. My mod and RTA survived.

We suffered no power loss. Just the soaked and frozen digits of hands and strained necks and shoulders from freeing vehicles of 2 inches of ice. Best of luck to everyone else facing this crazy winter.
