One of the potential problems is that there was just a weather event yesterday across NY with snow and sleet and power outages. So the utility companies are already busy.

With this widespread weather, they will be stretched thin.

Mr mm and I brought in a bunch of wood today for the wood stove. We already have gas for the generator.

We’re set for food.

We’re so far out in the middle of nowhere that we lose power on nice, calm days. A storm like this, if the ice is what they forecast, would do us in for a while. We have lots of trees on out property and there are several we’re concerned about coming down, but nothing that will hit the house.

The power lines are the bigger issue.

We’re in the general area of what Ryan Hall calls the bullseye.

Honestly, if there’s ice coming, it’s often better to leave the snow on and let the ice fall on that. That way the ice doesn’t bond to the surface of anything but can be scraped off easily cause of the snow.
