Buffalo and surrounding areas without power

My wife is bitching about getting a generator now. The longest ours has gone out here has been about 12 hours in the last 40+ years of me living here.

Yes, but next time it would be 12 hours without power AND with a wife bitching about how she told you to get a generator. How much you wanna bet that's gonna feel like a lot longer than 12 hours?

Although a generator is nice to have, it's not something you are going to use much. My parents got one during the ice storm and they haven't used it since. We were without power for a week and it was damn cold.

I think a generator is one of those things that you wish you had when you need it, but when you have it, you never use it. Kinda like insurance

Glad to hear that you guys got your power back!
