Hi, Bill! Well, it's bad out there! Lots of gridlock on the roads and now the weather people are calling for 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch of ICE! That WILL bring the power down. Don’t' thimk I'm able to get my generator going, altho ugh it has bropu ght me through a few ice storms and a hurricane in the past but I'm too crippled now to; foo; with it! I'll just have to hunker down and hope for the best. I do have my gas logs. flashlights etc.
If my ship comes in, I'd like to get a whole house generator with a transfer switch and electric start tho;at run's from natural gas but that doesn' help me right now! Take care and stay warm, Bill 73, Charlie, K4OTV -----Original Message----- From: Bill Stewart [mailto:cw...@embarqmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2014 3:07 PM To: Charlie Cunningham Cc: topband@contesting.com Subject: Re: Topband: Yikes! Heavy snow, freezing fog and 23 degrees F in Raleigh, NC Hey Charlie, We have about 3-4 in. of snow on the gnd, and just started to sleet, and maybe some rain, abt an hr ago. We are in the country and on a well, so have drawn up some water, flash lights, oil lamps & gas logs at the ready. I have a geny too, but its pretty hard to pull in cold wx...makes me think more abt a whole-house Genrac. Guess we will also get abt 1/4-1/2 inch of ice. Hang tuff Charlie and any others facing this mess. 73 de Bill K4JYS Half-way 'tween Smithfield and Newton Grove NC ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charlie Cunningham" <charlie-cunning...@nc.rr.com> To: topband@contesting.com Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2014 2:37:13 PM Subject: Topband: Yikes! Heavy snow, freezing fog and 23 degrees F in Raleigh, NC Yikes, HEAVY snow, freezing fog and 23 degrees F in Raleigh! It's really coming down and accumulating FAST here! Next we're supposed to get hit with sleet, freezing rain and ice - up to 1/2 inch! Hope my power stays on! I'm too crippled up and there's too much snow already to try to get out to the garage and fire up the generator and ru n a cable into the house! I guess my gas logs can keep me from freezing! Wish; me Luck! 73, Charlie, K4OTV P.S. How are things down Atlanta and GA way? _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
