Misc General Banter Thread

Everything is as ready as it’s going to get. Groceries and water. Grills. Butane. Battery packs. Phones. Laptops. Extra gasoline. Flashlights. Blankets. Kerosene heater and fuel for when the power goes out (I’ve resigned myself to the fact the lights will go dark; who knows for how long).

Now we wait. It’s almost an eerie feeling tonight. Not worried - I’ve followed my plan since Monday. Just a weird feeling of working toward this event, and now, the prep is complete and it’s just about go time.

Thanks for all the great discussion and analysis this week, folks. Everybody please stay safe.

I have gas logs…. They’re turned on by a switch on the wall but apparently you can run it on D Battries. Any of yall know how to start it from there? Like just the pilot or something?

Mine still work from the switch, I turned off my breaker to the living room where they are and I was still able to use the switch to ignite it, of course that was with batteries in it. You could also have a manual click to light button on there as well.

I deserve that . My wife has an entire laundry list of bs she wants done now bc she’s “scared”. This isn’t fun anymore lol. I told her it’s coming south and sleet will be the bigger issue she said “Cool do it anyway”

Well, Mr. Goofus doesn't even get me to freezing for that run during the overrunning precip, which would be a blessing. The AI version disagrees and it's colder.

Guess it ultimately comes down to nowcasting. If I'm close to freezing when some of the early precip arrives, it might be a moderate impact event. But if near the upper 30's like I've seen some suggest, I may end up staying plain rain...

Hate to say it but I bet no more storms will actually materialize for most of us through Feb. Amped to the north or suppressed to the south. Plenty of fantasy storms though I’m sure.

You see, the funny part about me having watched this aggressively is that I do not plan on doing that. I’d like to maybe get lucky and see sleet if it’s cold enough as the sun goes down, but really, all I plan to do is go to bed late at night…and IF it’s cold enough for issues, probably say a prayer for the failure mode of precip stays north of me.
