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.


I would call gas for a generator an emergency. It is being used to heat
your house, to run your furnace, right?


...and post to a.h.r.


Nope, my roadrunner went out with the electric..

That's what I meant. You should be allowed to go out for gas because
it's an emergency when you can't heat your house...or post to
a.h.r. ;-)
