Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Storm Preps

WB, if you're gonna be holed up for awhile might as well be happy about it.....grin

the prep items are the same in Florida. No snow, but we do get a hurricane now and then.
Surprising how many people go into storm season, with nothing set aside.

Holy chit, the EPA would freak out if they did that out here.

'City' snow can be dirty. In our little town they dump out alongside a couple roads(down in the ditch).
Always black nasty piles of oily dirt/sand and garbage left in the Spring after the snow is melted off.

Yup! They had to do the same thing in DC after several back-to-back storms. All I could think of was all the junk not to mention the chemical treatments they put down put before the storms hit. Dumped right into the Potomac under the 495 Wilson bridge.

They tried moving it to RFK but the parking lots filled up fast and all of that ran off into the smaller rivers.

But at that point, people were so sick of snow that nobody said a word. Life in the big city! SUX!

Way too warm here, 47F right now. Snow is about gone, creeks ran last night....Mud rapidly forming.


Rather have a blizzard warning...grin

I don't have to leave the house for at least a couple of months. I'll run out of milk, but otherwise I'm good to go.

Yeah, just one of those things that would be nice to avoid(if possible).

I'm still trying to get sent to mexico for a couple of months!

We'd be screwed here if the power went down.

I'm good on heat, don't need power for that. Generator will run the well and freezer. I'm not set up to run the water heater, but I don't need that in a 'real' survival situation.

Dude, you need one of those pimp 70's style fireplaces in the palace.

SH, you are in way better shape. I don't even have a generator for the freezer. Much less heat.


Rancho, I think the palace originally had one of those!
Seriously, some kind of retro fireplace.

he densely populated area from New York City to Boston could experience one of its ten biggest snowstorms on record early this week, as a textbook nor�easter takes shape over the next 48 hours. While local details are bound to evolve somewhat as the storm develops, the models are now in strong, consistent agreement on a potentially crippling snowstorm. Blizzard watches were hoisted on Sunday morning from eastern New Jersey to northeast Massachusetts, including the New York, Providence, and Boston metropolitan areas.


Hey Sam.

I'm out on Long Island. Yeah, it's gonna suck getting to work.

That bread and milk thing is frikken hysterical.

I remember staying in a HoJo in Huntsville, Al, overlooking the Piggly Wiggly parking lot when they were predicting an ice storm. You would have thought the world was coming to an end.

You do here, takes a genuine blizzard to stop circuit court. Ice and snow won't do it so long as a plow can get through. And the judge and magistrate have an 80 mile commute (ordinarily in session once a week and a motions day if needed).

Prepping here is being a week or so ahead on groceries which is pretty much normal if you shop the specials.

[quote=SamOlson]SH, you are in way better shape. I don't even have a generator for the freezer. Much less heat.


Sam, in the event of a blizzard that shut off electricity and no source for indoor heating, you probably wouldnt lose anything in the freezer.

I would have a heater and several 5 gal propane tanks.

Ain't looking forward to this one.

Eyeball, cold part of winter no doubt. Summer could be a stinkin' mess though!

For sure. A couple years ago i had to get a big gas generator and hook it to the freezer and fridge.

Was on a jury a few years ago when we had a real winter. They even brought in the big blowers to open the county road. The normal day's drifting made the roads a lane and a half - everyone had to be on his best behavior when meeting. One day found one of the jurors unable to get to court. A deputy went and collected her on a snowmobile.
