It's now 6:28 and it's now SNOWING! REALLY!
About 3 hours ago we lost all power to the house. High winds are above 50 mph and parts of Indiana are having gusts over 60 mph. I hooked up the generator. Ran 2 lines in the house. One is powering the television, the internet modem, the router, blower on the fireplace, and 2 laptops. The other line is powering the refrigerator and freezer.
Wife wants to sleep in the camper tonight and plug into the generator so we can have the furnace for heat. Fire place in the house is nice, but everything will be cold in the morning if the fire goes out. I can switch the generator to the trailer and not worry about the refrigerator and freezer in the house and turn everything else off, giving more power to the camper.
No clue when power will come back on. It DOES make me glad I winterized that camper earlier today after all. Snow, it's still coming down pretty hard! I SHOULD have left that snow blower attached a little longer!
Ohio and Eastward, this is coming your way, if it's not there already. Winds are blowing from the West, North-West! Really a bad storm ... funny, no rain at all, except the snow flakes, and it's being called a "storm"! Wow!
