SafeTGear Emergency Weather Radio
Friday, January 18, 2008

I have been looking at weather radios for a while but hadn't seen one that I really liked until now. I was at Costco last nite and stumbled across this radio which combines portability with emergency broadcasts. You can program the county you live in to report weather alerts and leave this thing running 24/7. There are 4 methods of power here, AC wall adapter, C cell batteries, emergency backup battery and hand crank. You can also charge cell phones, mp3 players etc off the device as well. As a radio, it didn't work to hot, I had problems picking up stations but the weather bulletins came thru loud and clear. You can pick one of these up for about $38 and its money well spent. You never know when you will need one of these and the fact that its portable makes it even better for camping, road trips or on the run.

Weather Update

Well I finished shoveling our sidewalk and driveway but I don't think it will make much of a difference. The wind and snow are still blowing and everything I did will probably be covered back up in a few hours. Oh well, at least it will be easier to shovel later on tonight or tomorrow morning. Life in the midwest.......
