Doc Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Here's something to think about: High winds, slippery roads because salt isn't working so well, temps below zero. Ok some happy drunk comes down the road, stomps his brakes slides off and hit an electric pole. Or these gusty winds blow a line down. How long can you last before you turn into a popsicle. Oh yeah, you guys that have a wood/coal/pellet stove, etc., or those with emergency generators have nothing to worry about. But the rest of us ........popsicle.

Dom Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 14 outside my window and going to get colder.Please dont forget your pet's even your hunting dogs shouldn't be left outside.To answer Doc's question I think with the clothes/hunting gear I could last until power was restored.I do have a pellet stove but with no power it will not work a wood stove would be the better choice in that situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

growalot Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 If trapped in that car off road...I have a few emergency candles,matches and a blanket in the car. I started carrying these since college. At home I always have gas stoves...I would do a bunch of baking. I would also put a big pot of water on the stove to simmer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlammerhirt Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I say it hasn't been this cold in about a year; -7 right now, winds 10 mph, gust to 30; 10 inches of snow on the ground from yesterday, 1- 4 pm.. What's it like in your neck of the woods? With an almost 2 year old and a pregnant wife at home I took the initiative and installed a generator transfer switch...best couple hundred dollars I have spent for piece of mind I have spent in a while. Now if it hits the fan and I am not home at least a neighbor can pull the generator out and give it a quick pull start to get the house back up and running.

RoadKill44 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I have two pups. I let them out three times a day for nature breaks. Normally I have to call then 2 or 3 times to get them to come back in. This morning they did there busness and ran back to the door immediately.

grampy Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I see a couple of die hard ice fishermen out on the lake. Think I'll pass on that today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJBat150 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 -2* here and even with the wind whipping straight out of the north, Seneca Lake is steaming like a hot tub.Will be interesting to see if the finger lakes produce some lake effect snow bands.

shawnhu Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 very cold out.

Would suck to get stranded with your kid in the car. Battery might be weak and the cold just put it over its cold cranking limits.
