All. . . . . Can portable generators be used during rain/snow storms? Do they have to be protected from the elements?
thanks . . . ken

Thanks all for your input. I will have to build a lean-to or something to protect the generator during bad weather. We are stuck in MD for the winter for medical reasons. I want to set up the generator in case of electrical outages.
I hope you all have a warm time in TX or FL.
