Bird's and ice storms- up date

Bird's and ice storms- up date
Good afternoon to all:

Well the snow finally hit after the ice had worked a permanent set on the
surrounding area.

We are still in Ruff Diamond and doing well. I managed to run an AC
extension cord into the house and get the refrigerator power, so as not to
lose the food stuffs and freezer foods as well. While at it, I powered my
Wifi modem and am now enjoying Wifi on my lap top in the Coach.

All this after finding the power may not be restored until after Feb 2nd
late afternoon, if then. I did a little number crunching and have about 6
days of diesel, 7 days of water and holding tanks and if careful on propane
another 2 weeks there.

As one Bird friend wrote, it is nice to have Ruff Diamond as a fall back. I
do not envy those who have to store their Coaches far from home base. More
snow and ice on it's way perhaps this evening and now with Internet, we
have some idea of what is going on.

Many thanks for the web addresses earlier, and thank goodness I could call
them up on the Blackberry after a fashion.

Safe travels,

Your numbers sound reasonable and probably reassuring to the both of you. Now if you can just keep the neighbors and friends from moving in. This reinforces my overall idea to refuel before puting coach away after trip.
Front passed here about 5 am and has only dropped to 65 so far; supposed to go to 40's tonight. We areVERY happy for the north wind because the ventura's work. Will probably get delivery on xtreme vents by Monday. The difference is at least 100% improvement!!
Take care and don't shovel snow unless it gets over your head and no other choice presents itself.

Not until Sunday, I'm afraid. There's nothing as destructive or paralyzing as an ice storm. It's the worst.
