Weather where you are

Icemageddon® is starting in the Dallas area. Drive safe everyone.

I think that almost all of the National Evening News shows had a clip from some correspondent in Dallas. . .

In DFW, it "smells" like winter now.

Perfect movie to watch during a freezing snowstorm . . .

The Shining

We’re forecasted to get at least a foot of snow in my area between today and tomorrow. Some models are predicting 20+ inches. We get snow in this part of the Midwest a few times a year, but it’s usually a couple inches at a time. In a small town, this upcoming weather event seems like the only thing anyone can talk about.

I went to Walmart on Thursday and it was an absolute nightmare in there. Half the town was in there and they were sold out of a lot of things.

I hope my CZ homies dealing with the ice and sleet part of this storm stays safe. A couple inches of ice over such a widespread area is going to have a major impact.

I've got about 5" of snow here in Pawnee County, with several more forecasted into tomorrow. Ain't been a fun morning on the farm.

I'm not reading 68 pages so I'll just likely duplicate this. But funny any way

We are expecting 17" of snow and it is around 10 degrees. Tomorrow's high temp will be 14. I can't get my generator started - my fault - its been sitting in my shed for 2 or 3 years. I should have gotten one with an electric starter. Also my fault.

Now it appears I have to drain all the gas and try some new gas to see if it will start. If we lose power heat is going to be a problem.

.....especially when there's an over-abundance of free pine cones in this country.

Once again, it's looking like it won't be as bad as projected....at least in DFW area

I guess that's a good thing

They revised our forecast to 15" from 17". Lol. I still can't get my generator started, and it is too cold to work on it, even in my garage.

I wonder why people always go out to get milk when they think they might lose power.

I hope you didn't leave gas in the lines all that time. You may have to clean the carburetor.

I use Startron fuel additive in all my small engine stuff and you can leave the fuel in all winter long and it wont gum up carbs.

I can start up a chainsaw that I hadnt used in 2 years and it fires up pretty quickly.

Its good for forgetful people that dont drain their fuels, lol

I should throw some in my leaf blower, since I may or may not use it during Winter. Easier than draining the gas and running it until it dies.

A small engine tech turned me on to that stuff over 10 years ago and he was right.
