In my area, 30 miles west of DC, they are projecting between 30"-50" of snow this weekend. I went out today and bought a generator. It was lots of fun (sarcasm) considering I know nothing about them. Anyway, I'm going to the store tonight to stock up on greens for tortoise food plus I have lots of cactus chips (thanks Will) and herbal tortoise hay (thanks Tyler). I should have enough juice from the generator after space heaters are plugged in to run two CHE's for the tortoises and maybe their power sun bulb. I live kinda in the country and my power lines are above ground and surrounded by a bunch of creepy, unstable, dead-ish trees so I'm thinking my chances of losing power are pretty high. Gotta keep my parrots warm and of course the torts. I'll probably end up sleeping on the floor amongst all the bird cages since that is where the heat will be. Wish me luck!
