The storm thread

[J.P.]

I hate everything about it and hope it fizzles out.
Of course dealing with my fellow drivers is definitely *not* my strong point....

I just seen where you are from. I spent a few months in Copan building cell towers. I loved eating at that truck stop going out of town, can't remember what highway it was but I loved the food and the people were great.

That's cool. I have lived in copan all my life. I just live a few miles from the truck stop its on hwy 75, we eat there a lot the onwers are old family friends and even worked there when I was in high school.

Just been watching to see what the weather men are saying, figure I have tomorrow AM to prepare if I need to.

With 5 to 6 inches of snow our drive way disappears and it's pretty easy to find yourself off in a field. I hate having to start the diesel tractor when it's really cold just to pull a car back up on the drive. We just stay home and tell friends to not try and visit us till it melts a bit.

Ran all the gas out of the generator when I put it up last year but have 10 gallons in jugs. Might fill it and go get more gas tomorrow just in case. Seems like when I get really prepared nothing happens.. Bought the generator several years ago when they were predicting a really bad ice storm with lots of power outages. Ended up not needing it but kept it anyway. Last winter we had a deal much like the one they are predicting now. I moved the generator out to the meter, hooked it up so all I had to do was flip a couple breakers and start it. Filled it with gas, filled all my gas cans and my van, I was ready and nothing happened...

Only way I could be more ready was if I had plane tickets to Jamaica.

I have the wife and kids ready. I am on call all week, so I will have the joy of working in it.

600# of sand in the back of the truck. I'm ready. I have 4wd, great tires, and weight over the rear axles.

I'm on the same power grid as the Norman OG&E, so it's been 6 years and haven't lost power once, although being so close to the plant I'll probably grow another eye soon or start glowing in the dark. I'm actually headed off to Walmart to get my weekly groceries though. Hope its not too busy.
