Snowtober.......

Well due to our wonderful Snowtober event last week I was unable to post.  So I thought it would be fitting that seeing as we have already had such a large power outage so early in the season to post some things we can all do to get ready in case (dare I say it) it happens again.....

**If you haven't already, we have found that owning a generator in NH is a must.  Once you do purchase one you will need a licensed electrician to install a generator panel and hook everything up correctly.

When you know a storm or high winds are in the forecast (like today) - take these steps to be ready:

**Make sure you have batteries and flashlights on hand.  Even with a generator we still use our flashlights quite a bit.

**Avoid the long lines at the pump once the outage hits and make sure you have enough gas to run your generator for a few days.

**Purchase a few battery operated candles to leave on overnight so if needed you & the kids can find your way around.

**Make sure your generator is easily accessible, so you don't have to shovel first to be able to get to it.

**Make sure you have a long enough generator cord that you can have the generator away from the house while it is running.

I am hopeful that we will not have to use these precautions again this winter -- but just in case and to be good New Englanders we should all be prepared for the next one which hopefully won't be today.

Stay Warm.......
