Moderators Hiramite Posted December 20, 2022 Moderators Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) 27 minutes ago, Indygirl said: I would too! Id love to have one. The important thing is can you get it hooked up properly, in time for the storm? And do you know how to hook one up if you cannot get an electrician to do it? @RobB I hope you don't mind me butting in, but I wanted to make sure this question got answered. Caveat, I'm not a electrician by any means but I have used a portable generator (several times a year) for the last 10 years. There's a bit more to it than just buying a generator and "plugging it in. There are two ways to use a portable generator. To power your house/household appliances. You need to have two things....a 220 outlet/plug and a means to keep the generator power/electricity from back-feeding thru the powerlines leading into the house so anyone working on the lines are not electrocuted. So, IMO, unless you have those two things currently, getting an electrician at this stage of the game to install the "stuff" is likely a difficult proposition. To power just a few things like space heaters and the frig/freezer, you might be able to run an extension cord(s) outside and plug it in to the generator. Edit to add: Depending on your furnace requirements, you'll need a pretty big generator to power it. I hope this helps. Comments welcome.

I'm glad ya did! Hope those who are considering a generator see your post! Excellent! At the very least, those who lose power can put freezer items outside where it is cold...

Ohiobuckeye45 Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) less digging for sure, will lead to weaker again initially, maybe being progressive it could end up east, but man at what cost at this point and to who Edited December 20, 2022 by Ohiobuckeye45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grace Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Don't discount the NAM. The 09z Ensembles doing the same thing. I know the NAM & SREF are related but I think this may be based on the partial sampling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely looking disappointing here. But it gives snow so I guess I can’t really complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grace Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Yea...I'd gladly take my 3-5 inches & be grateful & call it a day. If the NAM is correct the blizzard talk is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I was referring to but did not know what to say My hub corrected me on my naïveté long ago. It’s a little complicated, and if not done properly ?….can get you in trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow____ Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 It gives the most snow to my area in the past 2 days so it’s a win but boy did it look it so less exciting. And that Cincy dry hole 😂😂. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also to add on to this please make sure the generator is away from the house so fumes do not cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Seems every year it happens and it’s very unfortunate. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
