Monday's Ice Storm

I had a few tree limbs down but nothing serious. Is it just me or does all the TV stations hype up these storms too much? From watching the news last night I thought the apocalypse was coming the next day.

How bad was it for you?

:I was without power from Monday 9:30am till Wednesday 3:30pm.  Luckily I have a generator to run my furnace because it got down to 5 degrees at my house Tuesday night.

Re: Monday's Ice Storm

Wow, I guess I am fortunate. I heard some people were without power for almost 5 days.

I was looking at generators this past week. How large of a generator do you have? I was looking at a 5000w for around $550 at sam's club. I think that is a good deal, but I don't know much about generators.

I've got a 4400 watt generator and it will run my whole house ~1700 sq/ft, but I generally turn off any non-essential breakers.  I got it about 10 years ago and it's still running strong.
