[AT] : Ice Storm

[John Hall]

Guess its a matter of location. The last ice storm to hit here sold ALL of 
the available generators. We actually had 2 storms a month apart that year. 
Hurricanes do the same. The funny/sad thing is the number of folks who do 
not have adequate fuel supplies when it is time to run them. A lot of folks 
are even installing standby generators for their houses that run off LP.

Speaking of generators, it probably wouldn't hurt to crank mine up, as those 
30+ year old Wisconsins can get to be a tad bit cantankerous.
