Thad, sent you an email. Guess I better start my generator today in case Shameless gets lucky. That -2 is waaayyyy too cold for me, the good powdery snow I can tolerate. We have had rain for the past few days but the temperature has stayed in the low 40's, too wet to do anything much at the farm. I hate it for the farmers that have to get out and feed livestock in the snow and cold and for anyone that has to work on the roadways and deal with idiots. You stay safe as well as warm and dry.

No wood stove but running furnace with a generator.
We stay somewhat prepared.

We’ve had Propane ordered over a week. They can’t get here for the ice. As of yesterday we are still good. Supposed to get above freezing Friday.
Power back in. Got to be a rough job being a lineman.
