Default Snow Cover On Roof Provides Wind Protection?

That story is repeated, the world over. People
undererstimate how much gasoline a generator can
use. Wide open, some take a galon an hour.

For the rest of us, fill the gas cans before the
storm. During the storm, minimize the electric
use, so the gas lasts longer.

Is your snow heavy? Mine is.I doubt whether much
snow will be blown off
the roof unless there are constant high wind
speeds.
Worse yet is that we have a travel restriction in
effect. All
non-emergency travel is prohibited.
My power went out earlier, but I have a generator
running but not much
gasoline left.
I was going to go get some in my 4x4 truck but I
can't now with the
travel restriction.
Damn those anti-siphon gas tanks.
