The Official Status Update Thread: Part 91 - Snowmageddon 2 (The White Death)

Yep, me too.


Know how long it will be out? That's a bummer.

Called the power company all they could say is that they have 5,700+ customers without power and some power outages will be prolonged and to stay safe. In other words - boned.

Have a dried out christmas tree on the back porch I can burn in the fireplace. About to step out and cut it up before heading to Lowes/Menards if open to see what I can find.

There's a lot of code "Red" no neck.

What's that mean?

 

[chocktaw2]

What's that mean?

Emergency travel only. Your case, emergency.

Good luck, genneys are like .22 ammo this time of the year.

How can they enforce this?
Can the police arrest you if they stop you and you tell them you're just driving around the block for no reason?

My son is helping a friend go dig out someone in need. I'm not too happy about it because its a little ways away but its hard to get mad at him for that. Of course he got all upset when I demanded details about exactly where they were going, what they were doing and what route they were taking. Too bad. Tell me anyway.

I'm looking for anything to maintain heat - we can go without power for a bit.

Have a 17 month old to keep warm. Vehicles are gassed up as the last resort at this point.

Headed out now - will be watching this thread/INGO on my phone [because, why not?]

If there is a snow emergency, they have the power to do this. It just compounds the problem. Their trying to plow snow, and some idiot is stuck in the middle of the road, or worse. When there's this much snow, and it's this cold, people don't really need to be out unless it's an emergency. Hence snow emergency.

x2...I told my wife if we lose power here in little nashville, we're treking 15 miles to my parents house. At least they have gas and kerosene heaters to keep warm. Not having heat, especially in this sub zero weather, I do not know of any cops that's going to bust your chops for taking your family to a place to keep warm.

I'm not happy about my wife running folks home from work after she gets off, but I can't stop her either. Besides, the old folks need fresh people to take care of them. I told her if anyone gives her crap about being on the roads to show her name badge that she's an RN, and that the old folks need her. Hopefully folks would understand.

YOUR GOING TO JAIL

The "Man" does. You can fight it in court if you want.

They were the rage back then. Didn't need painting.

K, just hoping your feet don't get cold.

i made an illegal bacon run earlier... Seemed like it was worth the risk?

What if im stopped after I got the bacon and I share with the officer?

Jail....for bribing an officer and driving in a emergency travel only advisory.

Liquid bacon, pork chop in a can.

Your on your own right there.

Wouldn't that be Cannibalism?
