Hey Jason!  Thanks, I was in some kind of funk since my friends dad passed away and all the other s*@t (that's the extent of my cussing!) that's been going on, then woke up yesterday and it seemed to have passed and now I'm back.  My friend and fellow agent said she was going through the same thing last week.  Maybe it was some kind of bug!!  Well.....you should probably take your kids somewhere it's snowy this winter!!  How are things for you?

Williamthe only information provided was what I included in the post.  I think it's mostly to protect people from using heaters/generators in the wrong ways and help people learn to put on tire chains so they are prepared should we get snow.  The tough part about this area is that we usually get rain then it starts snowing and the rain on the roads turns to a sheet of ice.  We have a lot of hills out here so driving can be treacherous.  Thanks for asking.

Eric I think I've visited your neck of the woods when I was a kid.  I was born in ND and my dad was from Minnesota so I know how bad your winters get.  We don't usually get that much snow fall, but it only takes a little to shut this area down.  Thanks for commenting.

Brian I hadn't heard of that, but that's awful.  We hear a lot of stories of families using generators to heat their homes and not properly ventilating them.  They then die of carbon monoxide poisoning.  Very sad!  I have to agree pancakes and safety is a nice idea.  My good friend is a lieutenant at Station 31 and his top priority is public safety.  Thanks for reading.
