I set mine up about 3 years ago. Been without power a total of between
20 minutes and half an hour since - - - -

We're getting that now. My son was complaining that we're getting
snow earlier than they are (Vermont). They can have it. Snow is one
of the reasons we left Vermont (other sorts of snowflakes are
another).

Good Idea, I send out Christmas Letters and this might make a good back
ground. We had the drizzle for the previous 2 day, 1" of drizzle.

No kidding???????
I think you got more snow than I did the entire last winter. I'm about 900=
or so miles due north of you. It is probably a bit colder here than you a=
re in Houston. 18 degrees low last night and high of 25 this afternoon. B=
ut it is really sunny and clear skies.

I spent last weekend installing a twist lock inlet and back feed breaker
so I can run my house on my new-to-me generator if we get a bad storm this
year - like we did last year. I'm getting to old to say "It's an adventure."
Of course, now that I'm all set up to handle the worst, we'll never lose
power again.

I was listening to talk radio on the way home. Evidently, some of the
Northern suburbs have had 8" so far. We're on the South side. There
was no accumulation (just wet) at work when I left. The roads around
my house are snowed over but not slippery. My driveway is slick.

It's actually been above freezing here all of November except for a
few overnight frosts. Only a couple days that have not gotten above
freezing inDecember and only 3 times we have had the grass turn white
- only once the streets were white in the morning.
But it WILL come!!!!

Yeah, I got a great deal on the generator, so the electrical parts were
more or less free. ~$550 all in for 5000W ready to rock the house.
If I never use it, I'll amortize the cost over the rest of the time that
I live here. ;-)

The right kind of snow, no shoveling and roadways are clear. Houston is
almost in lock down though. LOL

Does that include the generator, the inlet, the 2 pole breaker, the interlock, the wire, and
a 40' generator cord?
Miy ~$550 US does.

Nice! What makes it so cool is no icy sidewalks and driveways. Hard to
believe in Houston area.
We have a different kind of snow here, ashes and golden skies.

propane tanks, propane/natural gas conversion, natural gas quick
disconnect, 25 feet of gas hose,35 feet of generator cable plus
adaptors to run the welder or heat cube direct off the generator, and
a splitter to run 2 120 volt circuits off the end of the generator

My nephew and his wife live in Norman OK. They wanted me to send the
snow up there. LOL
It is all gone now and or as of shortly after 2:00 pm this afternoon.
We only got down to 33.3. I think if it had been a few degrees cooler
there would have been more. We watched it for 4 hours last night and it
was melting the second it hit the ground. We were shocked this morning,
apparently it came down heavier during the wee hours of early morning.
