And,FYI If you divide 36 (snicker,giggle,guffaw) in to 200,you still don't get 5.5! But that's okay....at least you tried.You failed miserably,but you tried...tried to make me look foolish,but managed to make yourself look the fool.;^)

On my way to bed here in south jersey outside of Philly after a great cozy day with hubby. We roasted a duck for dinner, had a good merlot and watched movies with the cat by candlelight after watching the birds in the snow all afternoon.

It's beautiful and just started snowing again, 11 inches here, 18 degrees.

I really enjoyed reading about everyone's day. Hope you all stay warm with your power on and no frozen pipes. Good night!

A friend in NYC emailed me that there's a ban on driving in that area and if you drive during this snowstorm, you'll be ticketed. Said the last time it was like that was a 1996 snowstorm.

Freep mail me if your in a fix, if you don't mind dealing with my 2 yr old daughter, my 7 year old son and of course my wife. I have an extra bedroom.

Thank you for your very kind offer, but I doubt we'll be taking you up on it. We're not too self-sufficient out here... If our plow guy doesn't show up (again) we won't get out of our own driveway until spring! :-(

"DUH" what?

An apology would suit,or at the least,admitting that you've been damned dead wrong. :-)

I didn't call you any "nasty names" at all.I didn't call you any names;"nasty"? or "nice"...not a one.

Sooooooooooo you think that dividing 36 BY 200 will give one inches into FEET? Is that it? REALLY?

Bwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Twelve INCHES equals ONE FOOT; THIRTY SIX INCHES or THREE FEET equals ONE YARD.

Thanks for answering. Since reading Going to Extremes many years ago, I've been curious about the Alaskan lifestyle.

Two hundred INCHES divided by 36,which is 3 FEET or ONE YARD is 5.5555555 YARDS.

No matter HOW you want to slice it,36 inches is ALWAYS going to be ONE YARD; not a foot. :-)

When you finish that hole,would you like to dig out my mailbox?

Would you guys recommend a good generator? I know it's too late now but for future reference. Thanks.

Well, I can tell you what not to buy- Lincoln.

I have an 8,000 watt welder/generator sitting in my shop that failed after less than 15 hours of service. Unfortunately, it was past the warranty period, and they no longer furnish parts or service for it. So I have a 500 pound lawn ornament.


Practical advice? Get the biggest one you can afford- then think about getting the next size larger. Add up all the watts of everything you need to run, then add a little more. Electric start is very helpful, especially if the women of the house have to crank it.

Then you need to think about how you are going to distribute the power to where you need it.

We have around 10 inches in Philly and it's snowing hard again. The plow just came down our side street and plowed in my car! I have a Hyundai and now it's half way buried on one side.

And your spelling could use some help.There is a spell check on FR now;use it. :-)

But I fear there is no help for made-up words,which render your post meaningless.Pity that.
