Re: Record snow storm in the works Feb. 1st
I've been giving my daughter "tips" in case they lose electricity!
She didn't know they could cook on the grill - - I told her she can cook anything she wants - use her iron skillet and cook away!
I'm most worried about them losing power and then their phones not being able to be charged. They don't have a landline phone.

Keep the phones charged and only turn one on at a time... for that matter they could turn them off and just check them every hour or two. We have a car charger.
Don't make the foolish mistake of using the grill indoors... especially the charcoal ones... people die each year that way... CO poisoning.

Re: Record snow storm in the works Feb. 1st
I was going to suggest turning the phones off too except to check for voice mails but Hoovie beat me to it.

I know...it's terrible...everytime something like this happens, somebody freezes to death, burns their house down or dies from misusing a grill or heater or a generator.

Do they have car chargers? It would be a good investment if they don't.
My phone stays charged for about 2-3 days without a recharge if I just use it for texts and emergencies-not to talk and not for internet-and turn it off during the night. If I'm without power longer than that, I can take it to the library or a local office or church and they'll usually let me recharge there.
Edit: heehee I didn't read the whole thread before I posted.

Good too see you did tell her to do it outside,.Went into a 4 unit apartment, to do a service call one time and they had a turkey fryer set up in the kitchen with 20lb propane cylinder on it and a 2 foot hose for good measure ,unbelievable ! Foreigners from India barely speak english,no clue,except when i mentioned, fire department and living somewhere else.

75% of the heat and cooking fuel in India and China comes from wood, trash, charcoal and coal. Many do not vent their heat sources. They must be more "evolved"
any way, The global warming freaks say this sub zero temps and heavy snow comes from warming caused by humans.
I think it is the prayer warriors in our youth group praying for a snow day what done it.
