I just measured I have 8 inches down here.
I am kinda partial to Honda power products myself, having a 20 plus year old lawnmower,10 year old snowblower and 7 year old generator that have NEVER failed to start on the first pull. As for the size of the generator, you'll need to inventory the power requirements of the essential circuits you want it to support.
But it continues to come down here in Allendale NJ. My wife called from the supermarket 5 miles away a few hours ago, and I begged her to get some wine before she came home, thinking it would be easier to get through this with some fortification. She came back with 12 bottles. Good woman.

You are very mean.
Excellent, an upper classman. What was your major?
I was electronics. Can you believe that GIRLS go to tech now? Oh the Hugh Manatees!
Generators are like cars. Many models and prices. We bought ours after Hurricane Gloria from northern hydraulics but now there are tons of choices. Decide what you want to run and get one big enough. We have a well so we lose water when we lose electricity so we wanted to get one big enough to run the water pump as well as everything else. I use an inverter to run my laptop. Nice and steady.
It is so warm in Louisiana I had to put on the AC.
Chemlsford... Thought you were a neigbor. Right down 27 to Acton and hang a right on Mass Ave (aka Rt 111).
Stay warm!
=============================================
I put up with illegal aliens, a RAT legislature that has almost spent us into bankruptcy, and earthquakes. There has to be some benefit to living in this too blue state.
No air conditioning here yet, but maybe later in the week. :)
Honda.
I must now go to the inevitable. I can't put off shoveling the snow otherwise I'll bet shoveling eighteen inches *lol*
In fact, when it was first starting, the pavement was so cold that the snowflakes would shatter into pieces upon hitting it. Normally when a snowstorm starts, the first flakes melt when they hit pavement and it doesn't start sticking (on pavement) until after it's been snowing hard for a while. But not this storm. I think we are going to preserve every flake.
During my walk, it went from a very light snow to a steadily falling snow. During the last leg of my walk, all I heard was the "scrunching" sound of my boots on the pavement. No cars are out there and everybody looks to be indoors except for me, the neighborhood nut case. It looks like we picked up a half inch within the last 45 minutes easy. Of course, this snow is in its very initial stage. The heaviest portion is due to move in around 9PM tonight.
I will have reports throughout the night. The blizzard is now underway here in northern Massachusetts!
We went out this morning, not before the snowfall started. Very slippery in the car, but not too bad underfoot. It is 5 pm here in Jersey now, and it hasn't stopped a bit all day.
But you are right, it is a great day for it. We've got nowhere to go and nothing to do. Just a good weekend to hang out here on the threads and enjoy the weather.
It's now about 10 degrees and snowing hard,here in SW Conn.;been snowing for hours and we have about 5 or 6 inches so far!
Just have John and Ted blow some hot air across Taxachusetts. I have my sleddog Hillary right outside. Lord knows my senator is good for something.
Good luck shoveling your "partly-cloudy". LOL :D
This is why I should be married so I don't have to do this hehehe.
