Gas is also good for space heating (e.g. gas fireplace). Very efficient, no electricity needed, and heats just you and the cats near it instead of the empty house.
Yeah I’ve got one of those. It’s nice.
Also have a gen set but thankfully the power stayed on here in Indiana.
Our ice mostly came in the form of sleet rather than freezing rain which made a huge difference as far as accumulation on trees and power lines. There’s 3 or 4 inches of bb sized ice pellets on the ground. It will take a long time to melt for sure.
