Melissa,
If I could get a snow blower big enough to hit central WI from Minneapolis I would surely send it all your way!

Nah, you're not nutz, Mel. I love the snow, too.
We're supposed to get some snow here tomorrow but it's more than likely going to change to freezing rain later in the day.
Enjoy and have fun.

We're in line for it today, too.
The part that sucks is they're are calling for significant glazing of ice after the snow falls. That means power lines go down and then there is no electricity and thus no CH.COM!!!
Snow yes . . . Ice, no thank you!

Great. We've owned this f****** generator for nine years and it's started on the 2nd or 3rd pull every single time. Now it won't start. Not a good time to find out.
I hope the "freezing" part of "freezing rain" doesn't materialize.

Update: She started about an hour ago. I put Stabil in the gas tank last night with fresh gas. I let 'er run for about half an hour and set 'er aside just in case. In the meantime, I'll be looking into that Seafoam stuff.

On my generator I always turn off the gas valve and run the fuel line and carb dry. The manual doesn’t tell you this but it saves the gaskets and diaphragms from rotting.

I always do that, too. This one just has me flummoxed. Oh, well. It's working now.
May be time in the spring to do a rebuild on the carb.

Nope, fresh gas. In fact, I always drive up to a neighboring county to buy 100% gas for the tractor, generator, leaf blower, etc. instead of the 10% ethanol crap they force down our throats here. That stuff sucks moisture out of the air and deposits it in the bottom of the carb bowl.

Reminds me to run mine or make sure it starts anyway. I have to go get some premium gas for it and the snow blower I’ll be using to send the snow falling on my driveway to Melissa’s yard!

What are the odds that my snowblower will start?
I havent started it in two years and it still has the same gas....LOL
The guy next door and the guy across the street have plows, one of them always plows my driveway every storm. I make the wife shovel the walkway for the mailman..........no need for the snowblower....LMMFAO

Finally - the white death is upon us!
I couldn't believe the grocery store this morning. The snow hadn't even started and there were 15 customers deep in 8 checkout lines. You'd think they never had a forecast of snow before!
We're doing Chicken and wild rice soup, bread, and maybe some three chip toffee for dessert.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!

If Finland went nuts each time we get snow storms, the whole country would be shut down on several occasions between October and February. We don't tend to worry that much about snow.
I even took a one hour leisure walk with a friend of mine during one of them, and because it had been snowing the whole day, we had lots of snow and more coming. It was one fun walk. 
Back in here, schools never close beacuse of snow, stores and airports stay open and there's no problems with electricity. In fact, it's the fall storms, which cut the trees which can cut some powerlines and mean that some households lose their electricity for few hours.
So, let it snow, we'll be fine.
