I predict it's just going to be a "wintry mix".

That is the new way weather channels do it. Until they are sure of the forcast they put 1-3 inches and change it at the very last moment.

The funny thing is, they can’t even predict tomorrow’s weather accurately. So why all of a sudden can they accurately predict Jan 7 & 10 weather and instill panic?

Yep and I will believe we are getting snow when I see it. When NY gets snow NJ gets it also.

Most of the predictions are journalists trying to get clicks and ratings. The weather people never say anything as definite until it's practically on top of us.

Don't laugh. It was a gift.
I laughed. Hope it doesn't short out the battery LOL. Make sure the battery is fully charged so it doesn't freeze assuming that is possible.

Funny you mentioned.

Left blower out overnight.
Did a prep check. Batteries dead.
Fully charged last month. Amazing!
Removed batteries and let them warm
up in house. Fully charged and
will remain there until needed.

Yes. Appears the batteries are sensitive to colder weather.

Starting the car every few days for few minutes is not good for the engine, car needs ti fully warm up and driven a bit for oil to warm up and do it’s job. Frequent short starts adds to wear and tear,
