oh great, guess thats whats in store for me down here in snoresville oshkosh?

NYC. 6"+ means at least 6 inches. Doesn't mean it's exactly 6 inches. I've seen my fair share of 3ft snow. And that's in the 5 boroughs, I don't want to go upstate and see what happens there.

NJ here. NYC tends to get less snow because of the thermal effect of being a city.

 While not up to upstate NY standards.
I see your snow and raise ya some

You had no power but you had hot water ...

I have to reply to this...

Gas powered water heater.

Never thought of that, but that works, if the power goes out in winter I usually claim whats in the tank before it freezes

Here, we broke the daily low high records for the last two days (upper 50's).  A little over a month ago, this area was breaking high temp records daily (110-116).  Tuesday it was 99. 

Edit

I think in early August, the morning low was 89, and that was a record.

earlier this year either in spring or early summer here  near pittsburgh, we had two days where it was in the high 90's and then the next day, it was almost freezing out.

last month was really hot, 85+ every day with high humidity...  im missing it now that its already down in the 50-60's. it was 69 today

was being a little sarcastic... but they have ones that go outdoors that some people use to heat their entire house with. That includes air heat, floor heat and water...

Google and yahoo have changed their image areas so that was the only pic i could get to actually post...

Seems like it would be more efficient to have that heater inside your house.

Perhaps all the wood is outside the house.  It would be back-breaking labor to carry it through the house just to get it to the heater.

They are insulated good, so they probably dont lose too much heat outside. I also always see them covered by a roof of some sort. But thats not to say these big ones arent in peoples houses... i ahve obviously only seen the ones that are outside.

But i wouldnt be suprised if insurance companies prevented them from being in the house.

thats very true as well, though im sure some might have wood shutes.

There is a house a couple down from mine and his woodpile is literally about 12ft wide, 8ft tall and about 60ft long and thats just the stacked portion. He has a pile in front of it thats about 20ft across and about 12ft high as well. He works for a company that is contracted by the local communities to removed trees that have fallen or whatever and thats where he gets all his wood from. And he goes through about half that each year to heat his massive log cabin and his 4 stall garage.

There are people local to me, in a "city" in New Hampshire, that still heat indoors with woodstoves exclusively. Not me, no thanks. But my neighbor does. Smells damn good outside in the fall.

I love the snow. No pics of my Jeep climbing snowbanks though. Early Fall is the best. No hunters in the woods yet so we can still use the roads for Jeepin' and not have to be mistaken for a "bear" by "hunters".

Yes.

idk why that confuses you (But then again i dont know much about the connection between power, and water heatage)

But if it helps clear your mind, My towns split between 2 power grids of diff companys. Basically the Beginning of town (My half) is power by duke. While the rest of the town is powered by the town itself.

The town got its power back on about 4 days before us on the Duke grid did.
