I wonder what I would have done if I had a snake at that time???
Put him in your jacket.

But seriously though, up here in Michigan, where we've been experiencing weird weather this winter from 50's one day to -12 degrees (-22 wind chill) the next (that was 2 weeks ago) a generator is a good idea and almost mandatory if you can afford it. Luckily, we havent had any power outages this winter, we mostly get them in the summer storms, but it is on my shopping list. Check out the classifieds too.
