Pending Ice Storm

[Tim A]

Is anyone doing or worried about this ice storm supposed to be heading for Ontario? What are you doing to be prepared?

Tips?

Start with coffee.

I dont have a generator or anything but maybe I should because you never know. I have a friend who charges batterries with solar panels just incase

i always keep a drum of water made up and heated just in case. blankets if the power goes out, and a battery powered air pump, but i can't find it.lol

I have suffered a black out once here before. It was only a day. I wrapped the tank with blankets to keep it warm. I stirred and scooped and poured water every few minutes to keep it oxygenated. On a plus, my water heater is gas, therefor I could fill 2L pop bottles with HOT water to help keep things at a decent temp.

If you have vortechs it's very easy to diy a connector to your own 12v battery. That'll take care of flow.

I haven't set up mine yet... No excuse.

That said, I do have a generator in the shed, it's a cheap Walmart brand but it works well... Enough for the entire tank, furnace (gas), water heater (power vent), fridge, TV.

Here's hoping I don't need to use it! *Knock on wood*

Plug stuff into the car with a inverter. When we had the big black out years ago I run everything off my car for 3 days. My car is diesel so it was no big deal

7500 w gen fueled up and a spare can of fuel. I have to finish installing a generator sub panel next month.

I have stashed away 22,000 round of ammunition, have 36 bottles of liquor in the cold cellar, generator was fired up last week for a test, and I put my wife on rations. Nothing to do with the ice storm of course, regular day around here (except the rations, wife ain't getting any smaller).

Sounds like we should have a ice storm party at @Salty Cracker house! I’ll round up a greyhound bus

Hopefully there all Texas Mickie's and after half of the first one size of wife won't be an issue.
