Get your tank ready for possible power outages!

[Drinkmorewater]

From our friends at weather.com

Sunday afternoon and evening, snow will intensify in southern New England. At this time, the period of heaviest snow appears to fall in the NYC metro area late Sunday afternoon & evening, and in the Boston metro area Sunday night. Expect maximum travel impact during these times!


Strong, gusty winds will also crank up, making for poor visibilities and dangerous travel conditions, particularly from New Jersey into coastal New England late Sunday into Monday. Blizzard warnings have been issued from New York City and Long Island northeastward along the southern Connecticut coast to the Providence and Boston metro areas, then northward along the entire coast of Maine.

The high winds plus the weight of the snow will also cause widespread power outages and may result in some tree damage.

I'm not worried about the snow.. it's the wind I don't like hearing about... Let's hope we don't lose power..

(However, I'm calling out the weather people, as they always over estimate, and I doubt we're going to get more than 6-8 inches of snow.:shhh

Oh man, I hope it's not that bad...wanted to get away from the cold but it's freezing here in Orlando!Crossing my fingers, too...no way to check on the tank for another few days! Yikes!

I am a little worried myself, The wind has really picked up. I was talking to my wife about getting a generator. My friend owns an electrical company, he can set the whole thing up. I was trying to sell her on it, that it would be good for everything. That we could use it for a TV, some lights and the refrigerator o-yeah and maybe the tank :sgrin:. She said she wasnt worried about anything other then the tank. We can always replace the food and light the fireplace, but the fish and coral need power to live. Its a christmas miracle :biggrin:
