Thread Name: BS: Blizzard coming to DC area?
Subject: RE: BS: Blizzard coming to DC area?
there is no wind! The snow is so heavy in weight and sticky that power wires are piled with 6 inches of snow. My invisible nylon deer fence has collapsed from the snow sticking to the tiny filiments that form 2 inch wide squares.
Collapse hazards may be in the offing for flat roofed buildings in the area.
I wired the furnace so that if we lose electricty I can still keep the furnace going with power inverters attached to one of our cars.
At midnight I will make a pass with a snow blower since it can only handle up to 18 uinches at a time. With a brace on my knee I found I can walk well enough to go slow.
