Supposedly we are going to get some really bad weather here in Knoxville. Supposedly.  I don't know whether to believe it or not, but at any rate, we are charging the batteries to the Pod and if we loose electricity we are preparing to move to the TINKeRPOD!! We'll have heat and tv and I can still cook.  It almost sounds like an adventure.  Thumbs Up

Oh yeah, getting plenty of gas for the generator. Be a good test for that heavy thing!

Wow, I think I'd almost be wishing for that storm to hit just to try holing up in the Pod!

We just had a very bad storm Dec 18th and are getting ready for another. On a more serious note, stay in your house even without electricity. We had trees and power lines dropping all around us and it was very very scary. Don't mean to be a joy kill.

You're not, I hadn't even thought about stuff like that. There are no trees that would reach the pod and the power lines are on the other side of the house. We aren't in a neighborhood but in the country and we didn't plant trees close to the house because we didn't want them falling on the house. I did need a dose of reality. It has just started snowing about 15 minutes ago. We'll see what happens. Thanks for being concerned.

We are very lucky because all our power lines run underground.  Even when a couple of tornados came through town, my neighborhood had power (I think we were the only ones with power that night)
 
Its got to be something serious for us to lose power.
 
Everyone stay safe!  It looks like alot of ice and snow are hitting people south of IL.

Hey everyone, I just got out and took a few pictures of the snow here in NC.  We in no way got the "worst" of the storm, but still got about six inches, and it's still sleeting.  Here's a pic of our Pod all tucked away in it's Pod Port.  I hope it doesn't get too impatient (like it's owners) for Spring.
