I am across the sound from Dennis on the coast of CT. We have at least 30" of snow. It just stopped about half an hour ago. Like I was telling AB earlier, we lost power yesterday evening. I hooked up my new generator and life was great. About midnight I was running out of gas. Which is wrong cause it should have lasted much longer. I didn't shut off the choke all the way. While refueling the generator I heard the tree right next to my Westy making cracking noises. I cleared some snow and moved the Westy. This morning I go out and a huge part of the tree came down right where my Westy was!! Had I not left the choke on my Westy would have been crushed. The difference in gas use with the choke off was huge. It's still running on the midnight refill as of noon today!!
