Generators kill more people every year because the owners put portables
where the CO comes back into the property or fail to maintain the exhaust
pipes.
Refilling hot generators causes fires with both gasoline and propane fired
units.
If you use extension cords for critical loads with a portable remember to
check them out before hand.
Storing motor fuels in barns only adds to the chance of fire, a fire you
can't fight because of the ice on the ground and the pond.
The added load of ice (or snow) on roofs can cause structural
failure/collapse. The horses can usually take the cold, the roof can't.
In some cases trying to clear snow off the roof has led to collapse with
injuries.
