The current situation with the power grid is going to put the northern Virginia area in a bad position with regards to power outages. The power from the central PA plants is being diverted to the new England area because some power generation plants in that area are off line due to weather conditions. If we lose our feed from the south there is going to be real trouble. Area hospitals and emergency service buildings are being advised to top off their generator fuel tanks today. The winds predicted for tomorrow combined with high demand for power is going to put us at risk.

I am going to full panic mode now.

An actual informative post. Thank you.

Heading to Costco in my 2015 Yukon Denali XL right now to clear out their shelves.

I just got done changing the oil in my generator, running the gas tank dry and refilling it with stabilized gas. It holds 5 gallons and I have 6 more gallons of gas on hand. My transfer switch lets me run the fridge, furnace, router, modem, microwave and TV. Bring it on!!!

Heading to Bjs in my infiniti qx60 right now to clear out their shelves.

Bullshit report. It did not mention the Bay Bridge on the way to Ocean City. Can I drive my high profile vehicle in the weather to come?

I just started my Genny and got extra gas. You don't want to go long-term without heat. This wind and low temps is going to be bad.

I have plenty of Y2K supplies left over from the last big alert. Gasmasks as well.

Plastic sheeting and duct tape. Check.

I have a years supply of food and enough fuel sources to last me a few months. The unprepared can eat shit!

Wow, looked outside at 6pm and it was calm and quiet. Just looked out again and it's a Blizzard! Snow already coating the ground and super gusty wind. What a difference an hour can make.

Anyone hear some weird booms and flashing lights over GMU?

I went to the Giant in Annandale for my sick neighbor.

When I walked into the store it weather was like it's been all day. I was in there for 15 minutes max and I come out to a fucking blizzard. Blowing snow, pavement white and car covered to about a half inch. Unbelievable how fast that happened!

I live in Burke and heard the same booms and flashing lights at about 6:30pm and 6:40pm tonight.

Anybody no what it was?

I'm near Price Club Plaza and I saw some flashing lights off to the east. I assumed it was lightning. hmm

Who said I dont have ammo jerk off patrol? Who said I have pork and bean jerk off? I know you are the unprepared type but dont show your jealousy, it makes you look like a fool.

Hey dick lickers I still have power without my generator kicking on. Enjoy the cold if you are viewing this off your smart phone ya hygienic wipes!

I just heard that a big sign on I66 just blew over and caused a huge crash. Does anyone know if this is true?

Where should they have used a coma? lol, you idiot.

Starting to look bad.

>Picked up a few things. The Wal Mart shopper

Do you know that you picked up a load of sodium .SALT! Sodium that causes high blood pressure and all that go with that. No envy from me at all. I hope you will make it.

When the Grid goes, you can freeze your asses off maybe for days! You may have to sleep in your cubby hole at work if they got power. Natural Gas burners like me will sleep in warm comfortable homes with our small generators powering our warm Readdy Flame Furnaces via a transfer switch set up !


Hey KONA! How's that for being smug! Behind the Expansive Windows, I learned a thing or two from you! Hope your a gas burner too not a heat pumper. And I know you have a deep pocket and may even have a natural gas generator! Gasp The TOPS! and a transfer switch that can even handle the AC unit in Summer! Well you earned it old friend you are a smart fellow with economics but it really was not all Bushes fault. Sleep warm and well and savor the Kona in the AM . Me too with my Chock Full of Nuts. No transfer switch though, but I know how to make a suicide plug for the generator. Just Kidding! pal! Im not that stupid! Ill hard wire the gen set direct to the furnace breaker on the panel with the main breaker off of course.

You naive fools seem surpised by tonights snow squall. It had been predicted since Thursday. There was some mention of life-threatning weather and to stay off of the roads between 5 and 8pm yet there were mornons out there tooling around like it was June.

Tis time to bring the tomato plants in.

Christ you people are pussified.

In Chicago, St. Paul, the rest of that whole area, this is called Saturday.

Except that it's colder and more windy there.

Turn the flame to heat your self up as much as you can in case you lose the power load. Hotter the better .

If you have not prepared for any contingency, you will be the first to die. Run to Wegmans for toilet paper and milk losers.....

We needed that.

Turn up that flame, thats all we can do now.Keep as much heat inside as you can 80 f vs 70 f means 10 degrees more heat and will buy you about 2 hours time in going to freezing and giving the power guys time to fix what is wrong. I hope for the best for all. Hope every one is Ok tommorow.

Speaking of the power company. Gas Co, Verizon, every one of them out and ready for stand by call out is a hero on nights like this. Same goes to public safety Fire and Police and dispatchers, hospitol nurses like my sister working all night long. Be well all. Heat Pumpers too. God Bless.

You're a fucking idiot if you have tomatoes out in February

turn the heat pumps higher, I have the wood stove stoked and I'm nice and warm.

Gas powered generator. Don't care now.

Of course you stupid ass right wingers are worried about a possible temporary power outage. All of you are Loony toons.

Pityful thats all pityful and useless

No that's not all I have. Guns, ammunition, food, water and heat to out last any of you losers that depend on your buddy ObamTard for survival. They will find you fuckers frozen with your hands out waiting for someone to fill them with Govt. freebies.

Tell me how that Obama phone keeps you warm? Maybe you'll think the light from it can add some warmth LOL. ObamTard will send pajama Boy to help keep you warm.

Check again, grammar police

It'll be fun to read about global warming alarmists freezing to death.

I'm scared...

I'ma burn this bitch down.

I am a lineman from Dominion and I drive the main roads.
If it snows that stretch down south will never stand the strain.

4" - 9"

for 40 years i never knew of or heard of Virginia Power being out for more that 2 days total - usually only a few to several hours

only Pepco had, and everyone knew it was because #1 they were more rural and #2 they were dickheads (pepco, overbilling, etc). continually the wash post blasted them for being over paid, charing too much, and refusing to restore power.

----------------
after richmond turned "pinko" (nigs and spics and NJ and NY in richmond hiring illegals to work on power)

Virginia Power turned to 1-2 weeks to get power on. twice in just the span of 5 years. also, minor outages began taking longer.

democrats are simply one scandal after another. counterfeiting. contrived outage. anything they can to "get whitey"


well ok maybe 35 years - still that was in bull-o-va gov's watch


one reason why:

1' of snow would NOT STOP a Virginia Power worker

they would SUCCESSFULLY get in their "dually truck" in the cold (smart enough to stay warm)

they would work on the power while it was still snowing , in the cold

they would at times even bring the power back on even while it was raining - but not during lighting. i'm unsure if it was safe: but uncle sam they DID IT

^^^^ i heard it was from the top down democrats

they are pushing for long outages so home depot can increase sales and rentals of portable generators

yea this "news" that Fairfax is fed by the south and "it's a problem" it total bullshit

if the power goes out a week i'm doing a full investigation

i thought Fairfax was fed by nuclear power

so are you saying longer power outages are some kind of "nuclear winter"

huh. did not know nuclear fuel gave a crap about snow

either a jew grocery store owner or the fucking CHINESE

will turn your power off for a week and keep it off if you let them

simply to force you into more debt and force sales

i thought nuclear plants had allot of water pipes that have very expensive plumbing problems costing billions - worse than a horny woman ordering a plumber. leaking water pipes - one of the most common causes of reactors down and $$$$ spent.

maybe their pipes will freeze !

@
@ as soon as Mc AU LIFT became governor a Virgina Nuclear plant went offline
@
@ in the news 1 yr before was that a NJ plant was in "need" of nuclear fuel
@
@ one might wonder if the f'ing democrats stole VA nuclear fuel into NJ
@

a NY nuclear plant is always in the news complaining they are way under funded out of fuel and about to shut down and ny city will "loose power"

DC niggers have a WAR ON COAL - they hate whites that make electricity

Fact: PEPCO generates power for DC using coal. train loads daily.

they've used Federal Dictrict court to rip of West Virginia coal miners continually

fact: obama's war on coal is simply to get niggas off the hook in DC who gambled and partied with the money they were supposed to use to pay the electricity bill with

testosterone running amuck. hilarious!

That was a crazy storm.

Thanks Obama.

I guess this was Winter Storm Neptune according to TWC.

The associated cold wave brought the coldest air recorded over portions of the eastern Great Lakes in decades on February 15, and possibly over the entire forecast record.[46] Well below normal temperatures covered a large portion of the eastern United States and were expected to stay in place, with only slight moderation, through the rest of the month.[47] Through February 21, primarily on February 16 and February 20, over 600 record low temperatures were recorded in the eastern U.S., including all-time record lows and record lows for February.[48] As of February 15, Lake Erie had 94 percent ice cover[49] while Lake Superior and Lake Huron were over 80 percent covered, and Lakes Michigan and Ontario were between 50 and 60 percent iced over.[50]

Parts of the central and southern U.S. received heavy snow and ice. Washington, D.C. received over 4 inches (10 cm) of snow and parts of the mid-South received 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) of freezing rain. The ice storm caused over 200,000 people to lose power.[51] A second winter storm hit the mid-South on February 25–26, bringing an additional 3 inches (7.6 cm) to 8 inches (20 cm) of snow much of North Carolina.[52]

We just moved south out of fail-fax on acreage Recently finished re-insulating the house and I have a whole house propane generator with lots of fuel,I don't even notice when the power goes out barely a flicker. We also have plenty of food and ammo stocked up so I say bring it.It will be fun to watch.
