Here in Alexandria - measured a tad over 18" with another 2 - 4" they say over night.

And that's a Crown Vic under that pile somewhere.

Time for a cigar on the porch Ron?

Why the heck not. Just add a couple layers. I have certainly smoked in worse weather.

You see I got a path cleared! Actually - f**k that - I got my nice warm office to smoke away in and watch the snow out the window!

My generator just a tad bit buried - needed to clear the intakes and exhaust just in case it's needed. Plus the weekly test is scheduled for tomorrow.

I have been thinking about generators like that one, obviously for hurricane power loss NOT snow. Had it long Ron? I believe that could power the whole house.

Going on two years soon. It's a 17KW model - and yes it will run a whole house. Can you turn on everything in the house? No. But it will run a 3ton AC unit in addition to most normal items in a house being on.

It runs on natural gas and comes with the jets to use propane if needed.

Be glad to answer any questions about it. I went with the Kohler model over the other popular and less expensive models sold widely due to how quiet this thing is. With the lid shut and running you can't hear it from inside the house. It sits right outside my office and if I have the window open and nothing else on like the TV or music - then I can hear it - barely.

Pete,
That is the way to go. Natural gas or propane, not gasoline as many are in Florida.
I priced them out down here a few years ago and could do my house with one that would cost me $5K back then. Not sure at all what prices are now but would imagine they have dropped post the surge due to the 2004/2005 storms.
