We are prepared here fellas. Gas, generator, batteries, flashlights, food. Live north of Nashville and we are expected to get 6-10 inches of snow and half an inch of ice. Hoping we don’t lose power. Don’t care about the snow, more worried about the ice. Yall stay safe

Here's to hoping.



Watching the radar here as what was suppose to no longer be on the way is 20 minutes away. One of the joys of waking to pee.

Just outside of Raleigh. Barely any snow, maybe 1” of ice. Might suck. Generator and everything ready to go

Yep, same. Got my generators ready, my shovels and snow blower running, batteries, food, water, etc.

My big worry is how my knee will do shoveling and running the blower.

This morning predictions here were still 20 inches total with a little ice.

Yup…. Hoping we’re nowhere near that. Sounds like half an inch will happen for sure. The rest depends on where you are

Looks like North Louisiana and Mississippi is going to turn into a huge skating rink.

Here in the Shenandoah valley ready for 24” of snow.

We had electric gas and wood fire and cooking options.

Got a portable generator that can power critical items. Ready to go for this one.

And all the bread and milk you can possibly imagine.

Everyone stay safe and warm this weekend. If you don't need to drive, obviously don't.

Latest lredictions here for Lexington have been in the 10-14" range. Supposed to start sometime after our basketball game at Rupp with Ole Miss wraps up.

If any of y'all come up with a good milk sandwich recipe hit me up. I haven't found one yet, and I think I've tried them all.

It only takes a 1/4” to fill the emergency rooms full of idiots who go walking around and crack their heads.

Got my generator out to test yesterday. Would not start which was frustrating. Did some troubleshooting and made a simple spark plug change and it cranked right up. Ready for this now.

So far in NW LA, a lot of sleet but most people still have power.
