Pool chlorine pellets are cheaper

And if the "ice melt" bags are sold out at the store go to the plumbing area and grab bags of water softener salt crystals. We had a bad storm in Boone years ago and a buddy did snow removal. I sold him every pallet of those we had and the distribution center thought it was a computer error :laughing:

Only downside to the pool pellets is the blue dye
 
I had to drive around the end of the parking lot at Ingles in Lincolnton. I would have thought all these yankees would laugh, nope. They joined right in.
Thats because all the southerners have no way of removing it when it falls. Plus it typically doesn't melt and freeze the next day either.

My "problem " is I'm in the DR we fly back on Monday, I think we might get stuck in Miami for the flight back to CLT.
But I do have some nerve calming juice and a view of the beach from the porch. So until then ill enjoy the 70/82 degree weather.

They are calling for an inch here. Depending on the temp it could be rain , snow or ice. I'll take the rain and snow all day long over the potential of 1" of ice. Need to go crank the generator. Pretty sure all 4 saws work....
 
half an inch would be terrible. An inch is unimaginable.

I'm hoping its just that they have a half-inch margin on error. Which is.... substantial error
Yes indeed. Here’s a trusted source (NC Weather Authority) also saying it will be an ice event now.

Azamon is prepared to shut down. Everything now is "FREE delivery Thu, Jan 29 for Prime members". Ordered some stuff yesterday, Prime delivery today. Now, same items are a week out.

One of the delivery drivers called in to the radio station and said she was working Saturday until it starts doing whatever it's going to do, then everyone was going back to the warehouse and going home.

I almost feel bad for all these transplants in cookie cutter homes they have built out in the country. They dont know what's coming, out here we lose power and stay out for days. They gonna be some cold sobs.

I have a full fridge, full freezer. Just-filled 1000 gallon tank sitting a hair over 80 percent, which will run my generator about two weeks at load.

My only concern out here is with ice and trees down, if emergency services are needed. Fire or amberdance when it's 2k feet of driveway. In pine woods.
