Timothy Maikshilo Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 Thanks everyone, it's hovering at 32 right now and light rain which is the problem, it freezes to all the cold surfaces and the poor trees get hammered. The 4430 used about 15 gallons all day and my son returned home for Christmas and the power came back on. Let's see what the morning brings! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33984-ice-storm/#findComment-222662 Share on other sites More sharing options...
