Today's view of the cabin. Less snow than the last two weeks but still a lot. We saw Dennis and Kim and they were amazed someone was here during the big storm without heat or power or water. We told them Andrew and Becky and Jane are tough. Dennis said it snowed 9 feet in that storm and he was out all night plowing the road to keep it open and saw it snow 14 inches in one hour around midnight.
It is snowing now. We had about an inch overnight and it spit snow a bit while were out but looks serious at the moment. That's fine, we're making soup, have a fire going and ready to hunker down for the rest of the day.
We have both snow and propane. I dug out about 2 feet of snow around the top of the tank and it is at almost 70% so we're in good shape.
I found that propane thing too, but how do you tell how much gas is in it? I went to look earlier in the winter and failed.
ReplyDeleteWhen you lift the round cover, there is a gauge in it with a little dial that goes up to 100. That is the percentage full. There are two tanks hooked up together so it draws equally from both. Thus, you only need to look at one of the tanks because the other should have the same amount. Becky may not appreciate the propane concern from an earlier year. But we now have a reliable supplier so are sure it was full this fall and we also now have TWO tanks.
