I am up here on the edge of the storm, N of Chicago, S of WI.
We had a good ice storm on the freeze line, but our timing was good and 1/2 in.of rain mostly fell "wet" onto 6 inches of snow cover. We also got lucky with little wind. The trees are all still covered, but just above freezing temps helped lighten the tree load this PM.
I am home alone,as the DW is off on business, so I had another chance to reprioritize my needs. Losing power would shut down my sub pump, leading to a battle royal between rising water in my drain tiles and dropping temps. My personal comfort would have to take second chair to fighting that battle.
I did pat myself on the back for having enough dry firewood to ride out most short term issues since it is early in the burn season. I even built a fire last night, starting with 3 dry logs, then moving onto some seasoned, but now wet firewood.
The cat looked up from his place near the crackling fire and said "Nice job..." or so I think if I read his cat smile correctly.
I would have been disappointed if I had needed the generator I have so far not bought. The neighbor I talk preparedness with has one, but he would need it if we were both stuck.
