PREPARE NOW - Major Ice Storm this Weekend

[andrewjjones1212]

Better safe than sorry here - but models are pointing to a major ice storm for us this coming weekend which could include some prolonged power outages. I’m grabbing a generator tomorrow to prepare to run my tank for multiple days without power if needed, and I would suggest others considering looking into the same. A $400-$500 generator for harbor frieght or Home Depot will probably be cheaper than a tank crash for most of us I would assume.

Again better safe than sorry and better to get ahead of it now before everyone else starts panicking and you can’t find a generator anywhere

I bought one last year for the ice storms. Didn’t need it for that, but have had to use it 2-3 times from regular storms taking power to my neighborhood out for 6+ hours at a time. I’ll be pulling mine out Thursday on my day off and making sure it’s working properly and filling a gas can or two.

I bought one a few years ago and have never needed it. I’ll fill up my gas can though

I use a power inverter hooked to the battery of my truck. And only run the heater and return pump nothing else. I call it life support mode. I then every few hours will go out there and start the car for a half hour or so
