Here comes the pain

Here in the north east we’re expecting our first major snow + ice storm tonite, probably going to loose power for at least a day or two.
im making sure I have gas enough for both the blower and generator and my quad will start all before it begins.
Flashlights and candles at the ready, and plenty of wood for the fireplace.
im feelen lucky, my latest grow are seedlings at the moment, much easier to keep alive with no power than full size plants.
a few years back I lost a full size grow to Sandy, and I have been preparing for this ever since 😎 stay safe.
 
I'm in Upstate NY, 10 miles south of Lake Ontario, we got 4" yesterday and they say were going to get up to 2 feet by Monday morning. Hope all goes well for you and you don't get ice.
 
I am also in New England. Vermont. Unfortunately I do not have a generator or any backup system if I lose power. And to make matters worse this is my weekend to work and I have to drive 30 miles South to work and 30 miles back at midnight tonight. I've. Seedlings, clones, plants in veg, and plants in the 12:12 room. I am not looking forward to this but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
 
Oh my uncledoug, stay warm!!! I went to jr. high and high school in Buffalo, where my pops was from, and I'll never forget those blizzards...
 
Potted You are well prepared!! I'm in SC, and the temp was 55 when I got up and it's already dropping. I can hear the wind blowing cold air outside. We will have our coldest night tonight at around 25 degrees.
 
alltatup, We got 14" last night, 8DegF right now, wind will kick up to 30mph today with another 8" expected later today and tonight. Time to fire up the snow blower and do the driveway. My son lives near Buffalo, in West Seneca a couple miles from the Buffalo Bill stadium,it's not the place to live if you don;t like snow as I'm sure you remember. So time to blow then hibernate until tomorrow morning. Good day to make a pot of Chili.
 
So how was the drive to work and back, hope it went well. Lots of snow and cold here today with more on the way.
 
That sounds like the forecast around here,...roll one up,snuggle up and luv the one you’re with 💋
 
6 am.....temp -2 below,wind chill between -20 and -30 below, ice every where, a steady northern wind gusting to 30 mph. I don’t want to jinx this but I still have power?
 
Hey guys I'm in upstate NY as well I'm a east of Syracuse it was 12 bekib when I got up at 5am this morning . Luckily we haven't any problems with the power just hoping spring comes soon. Happy growing
 
Hey fellow growers, in the garden state did not get what they said but that would not affect me as I have a Gen for emergencies because of Sandy. Before that for emergencies I bought two used heavy duty Big marine batteries and a nice solar charger and an inverter that ran my system at half capacity. Its always ready when you need it, The more batteries in the grid the longer the running time. SOLAR energy. This would be for a small grow only . But it works! (Old style lights) Hope all went well for you north of me and the weather didn't put a damper on your grows! Be safe!
