in the end it was a disappointment, only got maybe 18 to 20, just another week in New York :(
maybe next time :)
with 2 or 3 inches on my solar panels they were still putting out 72v, I could have gone out and cleaned them off haha
1 inch of ice will do it, most utilities are good to 3/4 inch, most people have some sort of back up but if its extended over a week or more they cant store enough gas, they can go through 5 gal every 24 hours, thats a lot of gas over a week, and north of the Mason Dixon Line most older houses...
and us, as the storm spotters / chasers go live tomorrow will be reporting as it goes past them Ryan and Max will probably be live streaming them too, I know Ryan is a Ham not sure if Max is also? we will get a better idea of whats coming, we have local nets and HF ARES nets
10, 11 and 12 meter...
and that is on the conservative side too, I have hear 1 to 3 inches, power lines or trees cant take that weight of much over a 1/2 inch, so .75 and its going to be a huge outage
Up here its mainly a snow event we are way above the ice line, but we are always expecting outages, I am about 400...
Changing by the hour! the South is so screwed! I am pretty sure there will be no school Monday LOL maybe even Tuesday too ....

a few years ago we got 41 Inches in a 24 hour span, that was fun, but I have lived up by Watertown and Buffalo and been through some 8 foot storms at -50F 20 inches is a fun weekend :)
Scooby was 29" at the base of his neck!

I have had a 6600watt Gen on marketplace now for 2 years for $250, no one has even emailed me about it, maybe I should run a $500 special for this weekend ...
