We've been housebound all day, but we have electricity and heat.

Please tell me that was a typo, and you mean four FEET deep, not four
inches!

Being housebound in four-inch snow is kind of like having to spend the
night on an escalator due to a power failure.

Or locking your keys in the car with the windows open.

Or locks on a cloth top convertible.

A classic :-)

What, the coasts don't get ice storms?

Must be talking about the Gulf coast...

BTW, I am no expert on this,

you are so right there - you are no expert, better leave it to those who
have spent a lifetime studying the matter.

That doesn't necessarily entail that they are HONEST, especially with
$$$Billions in grants, etc., for coming to the right, preordained
conclusions.

that does seem to be the problem!

This isn't true with chain saws. The biggest problem is that after a
couple of years, especially if not used frequently, the cheap saws tend to
get very hard to start. My Stihl often sits a year between uses as I tend
to cut and split 7-10 cord each year all in one month or so, yet it still
fires up in 3-5 pulls.

Things change, over the years.

It is impossible to justify buying a saw at three times the cost, when you
can get a decent saw that will start reliably.

I have a Pouland that gets one or two tanks run through it, every year, or
sometimes two. It is around 6 years old, and I can guarantee that I could
go out to the cold shed, put fresh gas in it, and it would start on the
third pull.

Not everyone needs a lumberjack saw. That's the facts.
