The main roads are fine.   I went to HH Gregg this afternoon and no one was there.  Nice

The outlaws in VA got 15-18" of snow.  29 was shut down from Lovingston headed north to C'ville.

18 inches on tha ground in Shady Valley now and calling for another 3-4 tonight.
Thank God that I have a generator. The power folks are saying that the power will be out for another 3-4 days.

Right now 81 near Blacksburg is shut down.  Have a look at the Blacksburg cam on trafficland.com

Looks like we have about 12 inches so far here in Fieldale.

damn. i'm glad i got out of there before that

Hells Bells ,
It snowed another 5-6 inches last night. No power and my generator is running low on fuel. Plus my 4X4 is stuck to hell in the drive.

  Might take me a few slugs of Lightning

Dang ----    Finally got power back on at 4:30 this afternoon.  --4 days in tha dark.

Looks like it will be another couple of days b/4 I can get off the mountain, but I don't give a damn. I am warm for the 1st time since Friday and a warm supper was enjoyed.

My best guess is that we got 21 inches of snow this weekend

So when power goes out - do you go to a generator, or just wood stove/fireplace and outhouse.

It can be "challenging" (or even fun if you have no external obligations)
Stalk softly and carry a green stick.

J.T., I am glad you survived.  I imagine the bear is hibernating so your feeders ought to be safe. ;D    Where the heck is Blake?

Damn!  I had dibs on his stuff if he froze to death ;D

Glad the power came back on JT.  Won't that generator run on the purple stuff? 0--0

5X ...   Damnifiknow where Blake is. I think he is in Rembert.

Flat ..  I ain't running a generator on Lightning. Stuff is too hard to get  ;D
JWGNC  ...  yes, I go to a generator, but it draws too much amperage if I turn on a heater or the water heater. We were able to cook a little using just 1 eye on the stove. A buddy of mine got his 4 wheeler to the house and we got out and were able to get more fuel .

My best guess is that I will be stranded for at least 2 more days. It is about 35 degrees here now  (12 :25 P M) and a little thaw is beginning
now !!

JT, if you insist on living on the backside of nowhere, I think a Coleman stove and lantern would be a good investment.  Heck, even here just outside Raleigh, I've had to resort to my camping gear for cooking and light several times. 

Glad to hear you survived, though.
