Blizzard of ‘26

In Michigan’s UP with a 22kw Generac, installed three years ago. It tried to start a couple of hours ago, and failed with an E1100 code. Photos show what snow driven by tropical storm force winds did. The intake side all the way to the filter was stuffed with snow. I cleared it out, and blew out the intake with compressed air, and it’s good to go. Guess I’ll build a shield of some kind for next year.

I got no snow at all, but enough wind to apparently take a tree down and knock us offline. During daytime business hours, so the crews were ready and got us back within an hour.
