Weather thread, Part III

Do you have a fireplace or generator?
We have gas logs and a woodstove in one end of the house. Nothing in the other. Just have to run the water there. I have a generator 100' away in my shop, which I can backfeed into the house. It is only 85KW, which will run lights, fridges, occasional space heater but not much more. Also, it's been a long time since it's been used, so there's catchup work to be done to get it into shape to perform. Ordinarily, I do that over the summer, but I simply wasn't in physical shape to get it accomplished...

We may be dodging a bullet here in the Atlanta Metro area. Just last night they were predicted a 1.5 inch deluge of ice, which would be catastrophic, but now they are saying just rain with a slight chance of ice. Keeping my fingers crossed.
 
on the south side of atlanta we seem to be right on the edge of potentially not too bad but really cold and wet and potentially very bad.

it looks like the northeast metro and georgia are going to get hammered
If ATL is anything like Memphis, there are lots of poorer folks who will suffer greatly due to the super cold temps. I wish there was a solution.

it's been bitterly cold here the last couple of weeks and is going to continue through at least next weekend. they have a few warming centers around the city, but i've still seen a few folks around downtown under big piles of blankets. i don't know how they are surviving

Brother in Providence is expecting 2 feet of snow or I should say up to that much.

The good thing tomorrow is the school closures mean that I won’t have nearly as much traffic when I drive to work in the morning. Of course, I’m assuming at this point that my vehicle will even start tomorrow morning.
