The latest weather forecast is drastic and multiple people are scrambling to prepare for the incoming winter season storm. They are calling for cold rain followed by at least a foot of snow and I only hope that we don’t lose power. Whenever there is ice in the mix there is constantly the chance that the power lines come down and that leaves multiple in trouble because they have no heat. I know that my family took precautions a few years back and installed a wood burning stove, however they have not had this year’s firewood delivered as yet. Any long term power outage will be a big problem. When I asked my dad if he wanted to use the truck to go chance up some firewood he declined the offer and said he would be fine. He joked and said that he could burn the kitchen chairs if he needed to. I don’t guess that my mom would find that funny. Instead, I took over an extra generator that I had in the garage along with a gas can. I instructed dad on how to use it just in case. They have a few space heaters that can run off of that if needed. I hope that it will never come to that or that my dad is not drastic about burning the chairs. My pal and I have been through storms like this before and all we can do is hope for the best. I actually guess that my folks should look into the installation of a whole dwelling generator too at this point.
