Cruise ship from Boston supposed to head to Bermuda diverted to Halifax and other Maritime ports.
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. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-...ence-1.4816356 |

Is it your opinion that one must be a real, macho kind of guy to put up with temps ranging from 7C to 20C ? That's above average for our winters in northern Virginia. |

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. |

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. |

It was 7 degrees C when I got up yesterday morning. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-...ence-1.4816356 === 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. Yup, bringing them all up at the same time is bad. Had an FE working for us who had been an apprentice at IBM when the Great Northeast Power out happened. He worked in Boston and they had to manually reset a lot of the power sequencers at one of the big insurance company data centers. Some were mechanical and tried to bring up most of the data center at the same time. Would blow the breaker for the building at the power transformer. |
