From: Boris Liberman
Thanks for the good news, Christine. As long as you have power you can
always make yourself a nice hot cup of tea or coffee... My regards to
Darrel as he surely had a workout lately.
Fascinating pictures to those of us who don't know or don't remember
what a serious snow is. I'd show these to my girls tonight, surely will
get Galia's brow to raise...
You don't need power to make tea or coffee. You just need some way to
boil water. We don't get snow like that around here, but we do get
hurricanes and the occasional freezing rain/sleet/ice storm. Longest I
was ever without power was a month or so after Hurricane Fran in 1996.
I've got two little gasoline stoves in my camping kit which doubles as
my hurricane/ice storm emergency kit. One of them is an old army surplus
Coleman squad stove and the other is a fancy-smancy little folding MSR
stove I got from REI.
I keep a couple of SIG bottles full of Coleman fuel for them, but in a
pinch they'll both burn regular unleaded gasoline.
The main thing to remember is to vent whatever space you use them in if
you ever need to use them indoors. I've got a sheltered back porch
location I can use if I need to use them at home.
Life's a b*tch when the power is off for longer than a few hours, but at
least I won't go completely out of my mind because I can't get a cup of
coffee.
