Good thing they're mostly hardy New Englanders rather than Nancy Boys from way down south. It was 7 degrees C when I got up yesterday morning.

How disappointing for the cruise ship passengers. 7C is something
above freezing, right? It doesn't take a McCain style hero to
endure such cold weather. Buck up sissy boy.

Buck up??
I love this weather..warms up to around 20 C during the day and nice cool nights for sleeping. The best of both worlds. It isn't any country for girliemen thou.

7C is still shorts weather for me.

Yeah some of us southern boys are tough. It was more like -10C here.

We were docked next to that boat yesterday. All of the passengers
seemed happy and well adjusted. They were headed for Sydney last
night as we were leaving for Boston. Sydney was a nice stop for us
two days ago, as was Halifax yesterday. The Maritime Museum was very
impressive. Had lunch at Murphy's out on the pier - not so
impressive.


I'd be looking for a safe harbor to hole up in for a few days if I
were you.

I imagine Flo will just be a lot of rain by the time it gets out of
the Carolinas. If it smacks into the mountains that will take a lot
out of it. Worst case is an early turn north, skipping up the coast.
That does not seem to be what NHC is saying tho. They have it going
straight in, somewhere between Savanna and Norfolk.
If that leans toward Norfolk it will be bad for all of those Virginia
and Southern Maryland folks, particularly close to the water. They
already have a high tide over their docks before the storm is even
close, Several feet more surge and a lot of people will be wet.


It's been raining here so much that the first two blocks up the river in
Old Town, Alexandria, are already under water. That area floods easily
and frequently, but with more "deluge" on the way, it doesn't look good.
Our local propane delivery company topped up our 500-gallon tank today.

That is probably really 400 gallons (they only fill to 80%). What is
your burn rate? I think my BIL said he was burning close to 3 gal per
hour with his Generac.


I'll have to look it up again, but I sort of recall 1.5 to 2.0 gph under
half load. We are careful what we run under Genny power in order to
conserve fuel...we run fridges, well pump when needed, a few lights and
outlets, one of the heat pumps as needed...stovetop is gas...enough to keep
us comfy. It is a 17 kw unit.

We run 2 well pumps 2 fridges, the pool and a mini splitAC plus our
general lighting load, pretty much normally. (all breakers on and just
a little light switch discipline)
That uses around .8 GPH propane and .5 GPH gasoline but I am not
running the central air, water heater or range.


Lighting in my house is no longer an issue. 100 percent LEDs. I could
have 20 running (which I'd never do) and they would draw less than 2
amps total.

I found out your general lighting load (everything hard wire
connected or plugged in to general lighting circuits) is really
minimal as long as you understand what a hair dryer is. The only
breaker I tripped was the water heater and I turned off my air
compressor. Everything else was just being aware of what you were
using. I did turn off/unplug things like my laser printer (actually
everything in the computer room) and the TV PCs but mostly because I
was not using it and the power was pretty dodgy.
I don't really have that much LED lighting here except for the garage
but we don't usually have that many lights on anyway. I like dimmed
lights for just walking around and LEDs don't dim that well. (no color
change). All of our walking around light is on motion sensors so if
you are not there, the light is off.
The only time I really needed to do load management was when I was
hitting locked rotor on several motors at once. Usually all I had to
do was turn off the pool pump and well pumps and bring them up
individually. That is right near the generator so it is easy to do. If
I really thought this power outage was a thing, I would put time
delays on my motor loads but we really have pretty stable power here,
even after storms. Irma was the first time in 35 years that power was
out more than a day.

Must be Wayne. I have spent a lot of time in New York (NYC, Hudson

assignments.
I am from DC, Maryland and Florida.

Hope you don't take offence when I refer to 'southern boys'
I'm talking about Justine, Ditzy Dan, Johnny and the guy with the Palm Sisters.

Harry lives further south than I do, Don.

Is living in a Southern state supposed to be bad?

I was born further north than Halifax. Grew up just a bit south of Halifax. I reckon some of us are
just as much 'northern boys' as you are.
