It's a big one, probably be in the record books when done.

I'm looking for our snowshoes; the dog is getting all worked up, he likes the cold :D

Just received a Nixle alert, now a blizzard warning and it now says 6-10" with 50mph wind gusts. Blizzard Warning URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 317 PM EST Wed Jan 3 2018 ...High Impact Storm including the aftermath of wind driven record cold on its...

This is the last forecast I'm going to look at for this storm. Every time a look, it gets worserer ;) Big Orange is now sitting at the ready in the garage instead of way out in the shed.

8am briefing has snow totals up a bit, worst part for us will probably be the winds after the snow. Offshore wave heights forecast up to 25 feet, NWS has sent out a hurricane hunter plane. Philly is having a big problem with frozen water mains...

The rust color is hurricane force winds offshore, sure hope it stays there. One big storm. http://www.weather.gov/

Latest briefing from NWS Mt Holly. http://www.weather.gov/media/phi/current_briefing.pdf

The more the better, will help to keep the in-ground pipes from freezing when the cold comes later this week.

Snow totals went up and they are using the term 'plowable', which can't be a good thing.

I hope so, 'cause it's looking like it may be a monster storm. :eek: NWS is saying similar to last weeks leaf blower snow, as long as the storm stays offshore.

Just watch out for the snow flea's.

His *** didn't freeze up, his ### did :D

Interesting numbers just 10 days into winter. Check Erie PA :eek:

A Happy & Healthy New Year!

They make heating pads that get glued to the outside bottom of the tank, heat rises, never used one though. The cold effects start at 32f clouding the fuel, and the gel starts at around 15F. If the pad can generate enough heat to overcome that it might work.

We had problems with our septic outline freezing up :worms: even though it was buried about 20" at the shallowest section. Added some 2" foam insulation boards over that section which fixed it. :dance: Wife never cared for the 5 gallon pail routine when it was frozen up.

When we had our place in upstate NY the winter fuel oil had an additive to prevent the wax in the oil from turning to crystals and blocking the fuel line. #2 fuel oil is basically diesel fuel, which has the additives at the pump. But this stuff has to be added before the fuel begins to gel...
