ORH_wxman Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Friday's storm could def still trend into solid advisory. I wouldn't forecast that right now but there's a path for that for sure. We've already seen some runs do it on and off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still need to shut the generator off but I just use it for water, fridge and lights as I have propane heat. Its a pain with breakers but works and has gotten too much work the last 8 years.
