Snow days = Tank time

15 inches of snow, 30-50 MPH winds, a driveway that is a 1/4 mile long = home for a couple days to stay inside & work on the tanks!

 

yes...misery for some....opportunity for others !!

 

when your done with yours you can come and do mine!! LOL

 

I just hope to God I don't loose power. Last time it took them 3 days to get ours back on. It's one thing in the summer but even half a day in weather like this and my tank will be close to 50 degrees.

 

I just got my new pendants today.. perhaps i will attempt to pintall them myself!?!?....

 

Trust me I will have my share of misery.

2 years ago after the blizzard I had a snow drift 6 ft deep & 100 ft long on my driveway I had to remove.

 

hope you had more then a shovel Greg

 

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE... IT HAS BEEN ABOUT 10 YEARS SINCE SNOWS AND WINDS OF THIS MAGNITUDE AND EXPANSE HAVE BEEN SEEN ACROSS THE AREA. STORM STRENGTH IS ANOTHER MATTER. IT HAS PROBABLY BEEN 20 TO 30 YEARS SINCE THE IMPACTS OF A WINTER STORM OF THIS STRENGTH HAVE BEEN SEEN IN THE AREA.

Oh joy! My buddy said they were saying travel was not advised after 8 p.m. tonight and none what so ever tomorrow. Hopefully I get out of work tonight at a decent time

 

I was supposed to head to Des Moines in about 30 minutes from Council Bluffs. Had intended to go to the Breaking Benjamin concert tonite as well as meet up with a few of u guys.... what a bum day.... also.. i opened up my new lights and noticed the guy never sent me the two ballasts.... i have no luck.

 

Oh forgot that was tonight. That might be a bum show if the roads are really bad. I was hoping to go but I work nights so that just wont work unfortunately!

 

you could say, it is lights out for that idea....gotta have fun with it

 

Argh!!!!

 

What a shame to miss such a good concert... :-(

 

i wonder if they will even make it? how could a tour bus plow through this weather? if they are unable to perform, does a band like that reschedule or just pass us by and move on to the next show?

 

I would imagine they were here by last night but I could be wrong. If it is real bad maybe they will reschedule but who knows when specially at such a small venue.

 

IME anything that doesn;t go on that day gets canceled and refunded unfortunately.

 

is it wrong that i would rather nobody get to see it rather than just me?

You should keep some sheets of Styrofoam to place around you tank and on top, then rap it with a blanket to help insulate. Dont laugh this works!! 

 

a small portable generator also does well for the heater and small pump. might get the wife bent a bit if you don't share the juice
