Less than 4 months ago 35~50 inches of rain.

Now this, must have been because of the ground still being wet. ;~)

That's more than we have up here in Waterloo Ontario (The Great White
North)


We probably will not see this again for 5~9 years. LOL Seems it snows
here after a sopical storm of hurricane affects our area.

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.


Corpus Christi, TX, on the bay and about 200 miles SW of here, where I
grew up, had 6 inches.

Snow sucks. I thought I left it behind.

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.

Cheap insurance. ;-)

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. ;-)
About $1500 Canadiasn fir 7200 watts - tri-fuel

Does that include the generator, the inlet, the 2 pole breaker, the interlock, the wire, and
a 40' generator cord?

Miy ~$550 US does.

Yes. Includes th einlet, the backfeed breaker, the interlock, 2
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
cable. The whole enchelada.
Everything purchased new in Canada except for the interlock which I
had to import from the USA
