It looks like they are calling for upwards of a foot of snow from Wed night until Thursday night. Let the panic and mad rushes to Wal-Mart begin.

People in the midwest panic like a mfer about snow, completely forget how to drive etc.

Come to Nashville where the threat, not actual snowfall just the threat, of snow will shut the schools down.

I think that's happened here once or twice, and I swear there's a correlation between cloudiness and traffic.

I can work from home, so don't even care any more... during the first snow this year (a couple inches), I noticed Google maps said my 7-10 minute commute would take 28 minutes, which was all I needed to stay home.

6-12 right now for the KC area. Icey mix a bit to the south and over a foot closer to NE is predicted, but that can all change pretty quick.

People in the midwest panic like a mfer about snow, completely forget how to drive etc.

I really started noticing it after moving back from alaska.

The panic rate is correlated to the area's ability to adequately remove the snow. Places like central Texas don't even have snow plows and ways to remove it, so it just magnifies the risk.

If you have a large fish tank on a stand, you can place a candle, (or use 2 if larger than 55g), inside the stand and close the doors, (if there are any). Our power was out for quite some time and that helped keep the water warm.

They'll hold temperature for a lot longer than 8 hours, that's not the issue.

They're planted - when the lights go off, the plants stop photosynthesizing and start giving off CO2.

With the power off, there's no surface agitation and eventually the fish start to suffocate due to lack of oxygen.

The temp in mine was dropping too rapidly, which is why I suggested the use of candles, (I didn't know if you had ever tried that before). :)

None of my tanks are heavily planted anymore, (and no CO2). What would be your suggestion regarding surface agitation? I think that our power was out for 6 hours max and I didn't really do anything about that.

The temp shouldn't drop much at all over the first few hours since there's no circulation or surface agitation. My 55G could go without heat for 12-14 hours and only drop a few degrees. That being said, the area of the house where they are isn't gonna drop much below 68 given its proximity to the fireplace.

I've considered getting battery-powered air pumps but they've been out of stock everywhere and I haven't gotten around to ordering them online.

Other than that, I don't really know what else to do.

And if you don't have a lot of plants, temperature would probably be a bigger problem for you anyway.

The temp in my 55g was dropping a few degrees every hour before I added the candle. Of course, it's located against an exterior wall, (sort of, our garage is on the other side of the wall). My other 2 tanks are small and the temps didn't fluctuate too much.

I would probably look into getting battery-powered air pumps, but I plan on selling the tanks soon.

We have a fireplace, but it's electric. A lot of good that does when you lose power, huh? LMAO

Saw it on the weather channel when I was getting some chili for lunch at a nearby bar.

Keep in mind - this is through Friday.

And CatDaddy just posted a picture on the previous page with projected snowfall amounts.

I think there was a storm about 5 years ago that knocked it out for a half day or so. The neighbor said L & P told him it could be days so we packed up to stay with friends in Liberty. I think they restored power about 30 minutes after we left home.

Don't know if you're interested but I thought I'd post it. I ordered a sample pack of http://www.getgrinds.com/product.html for when im out of dip just to get something. So these will likely hold me over until I get out but I want my tobaccy damnit!

Coffee, Biscuits and Gravy, watching it snow with the kitties. I'd just like to say, Loren Halifax on WDAF is mega hot. I'd like to touch her inappropriately. Did I say that out loud?
