Ooh, that reminds me, I should probably start my generator tonight just in case.
We have one, but we won't be needing it this weekend...

(For clarification, I don't want to lose power, but I am disappointed my snowstorm abandoned me.)
 
We had a blizzard here in 1993 we had a lot of snow for about two weeks it was awesome. I was in high school but there was no school and our house was the one where all the neighborhood kids hang out. So many memories made then! Snow sledding and playing cards and board games and just being kids. Mom cooked for all of us on top of a kerosene heater.

Snow doesn't like those warm climates.

Sounds like my mom and dad's stories! My mom said my uncle jumped off the front porch into a drift and disappeared.

My generator is probably 50 years old by now. But it fires up and runs every time.

And we understand thats why when the weather people get us all excited about a storm coming and then nothing happens or we get stupid ice it's such a disappointment...
 
costco sells it "joes" green and red bag..
We have no Costco here. I'm having some from Tanzania that I got through the coffee club I'm in its really good.
