Watching the snow line advance as I type .... it’s going to be here within the hour. The disturbing part of this storm is that it will go to freezing rain before it warms up enough to turn to all rain. I’m hoping it’s no more than an hour or two. I could not start the generator when we tested it week before last after a previous 7” snow storm ... got my brother up to see if he could do it - no luck. I know a guy who will come to your house & do portable generator repairs - he worked me in & was out this week. The good news ... it wasn’t “me” making an error. The bad news - the electric fuel solenoid is bad & you cannot order the part separately ... a $400 carburetor would fix it. Anyway, he had a work around .... generator is starting just fine now. I hope we don’t need it!

Good luck. When I lived in DC, some of these storms would dump 25+ inches at a time. Thank God I’m back in the Deep South!

Snow, about 4-6 inches and now freezing rain here in upstate SC. Dry high winds too. Power has been on and off. Glad we have fireplace heat.
