    Am I wrong or has the weather forecast changed? It's showing Tues being sub 32 all day. I don't remember that being the case.

    I'm a little more optimistic now - provided blue utilizes that time. That plus theyve stopped working on tubbin'

    I’m on the “STBY “ Sucks to be you branch. Only a handful so we go to the bottom of the list unless we get knocked out early in the storms . Although PPL does a good job of projecting service restoration time it’s a pain but I just deal with it. I’ve been out for days at a time. 

    i didn't know there was a term for it, but we are in the same boat with PPL. we have around 80 ppl. 

    if there's just a run of the mill outage, it gets fixed pretty quickly. in a big storm scenario though, with lots of outages, we are definitely waiting.

    Look into aqua bricks. That’s what we got. A box of 6, they are 3 gallons a piece so easily moveable and lock together like legos when you stack them to take up less space. Just change out water every 6 months. 

    very cool, i've never seen those.

    at $200 for the six pack tho, i think i'll stick to the gallon jugs lol.

    Blue is still talking about opening Friday in FB

    chairs are spinning lol

    looks like they might have an 8ish hour window tonight. i really don't know if it'll be enough tho between the rain and the future temps. guess we'll find out how magical those new guns are.

    could they open? maybe but i think it'll be a WROD on vista only

    Not something many think about, but not having power is a big issue when you're dependent upon a well for water.
    I now keep a few of the plastic 5 gallon drinking water jugs in the basement, just in case.

    ... yeah i think about this constantly. we have roughly 15 gallon jugs in the basement. gotta check them tho, the plastic eventually gets brittle.

    we already have gas generators and the kerosene heater, which handles our needs ... with the exception of the well.

    since we have the generators, we've been considering getting one of those hookups to feed it to the main panel. cost would be exponentially less than a standby gen.
