it's 3, three degrees here. We've got 3~ 4" of dry powder snow. At least it's a cakewalk to drive on. HIH far south do you have to go to get away from precipitation that won't go down the drain?
Tijuana or Cuba?
NEVER had one of those to use. Now we've got ~ 16,000 sq ft of driveway, I think I need a .

Your leaf blower will work fine on a dry snow. You'll be done in minutes.
And, come to find out, we're not having rolling black outs, we're losing power, PERIOD. Some areas not far from me have been without power for over 8 hrs. Where my Mother lives, the power has been on and off all day.
While watching an interview on FB with local officials concerning the power outages, a number of people chimed in and asked how the grid is going to handle electric cars charging if it can't handle the load of a heater...........

Thank you, that never occurred to me. I don't remember ever getting one snow of nothing but powder.
Since we're both working from home I'm going to let Mr. Sun do the work. As well as being too busy working to fool with it, the power delivery company wants us to conserve. MANY of my neighbors have been without power for an extended period, some more than 12 hours now.
In my area, they just came on and basically told us there's nothing they can do about the power outages, the grid is simply overloaded.
Wow.
But, we're all supposed to be driving electric cars in 30 yrs or less.
Putting the cart before the horse?
Speaking of electric cars........IF we were driving electric cars and this situation happened, how would you get anywhere? What if you had an emergency and you HAD to get out? "Suck it up, the battery's dead"

You would call 911 and wait for the electric powered ambulance.......no wait.....

Well what would happen if the power was out and your car's out of gas ?!?! Gas or electric - if you let go to "E" you're screwed either way!

If you've got a little energy you can get to a charging station, IF it has power, an hour or two later you've got a couple hundred miles of range, less if you run the heater strips on high. If you've got a little gas you've probably got 25 miles to find a station with power, in 5 minutes you can drive hundreds of miles, WITH full heat.

I may be the minority, but, when I know bad weather is coming, I top off the tanks. I might even fill up an extra 5 gallon can or two. How do you prepare ahead with an electric car? Hand cranked generator?

Same way. Tell it to charge to top itself off. They can also be charged from a generator, if you have the right cables, usually getting the equivalent of 20-30mpg.
Gas stations have trouble pumping gas without power too
Or, if you have solar panels and the correct set up, just plug in to that and wait. Want to be a strong independent household and not depend on the grid? Go off grid
If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

No thanks on the offgrid, going to be near -30 tonight, windmills are frozen, maybe 2 hours of sun. I have to laugh, I have some California folks staying with me right now......their offgrid [censored] went right out the window with 4 days of never getting above zero. They have a new outlook, we keep the house at 59, they are really happy.
