I was hoping for a good layer of snow in Shreveport, but I think I would be just as happy if my brothers from south Louisiana got a good blizzard.
Seeing new Orleans covered in snow would be a once in a lifetime sight.

Anyone have any idea why 2 of my mr buddy heaters I bought today from lowe's has trouble igniting? It took me forever to get the first one going. I properly screwed them down, used the filter, has an internal regulator and man it took forever of playing around with it for it to finally ignite but that one was fine.
The second one I absolutely can't get going. It gets the propane ready to ignite and it actually fully ignites then just shuts off like it has air in the hose. It's tightly on there and I bled the hose. The propane tank is full and new.
Wondering if these hoses are defective because I have to constantly take them on and off for it to get pressurized. Both hoses are the mr. buddy hoses. Not the one with that's filterless but the other one where you had to buy the filter for the back of the heaters.
Hard to imagine it's the propane tank. I'll try a different one tomorrow.

Post this on the H&G board or the Outdoor board. Those guys know a good bit about those heaters.

Debating if its worth draining the irrigation system. If the highs are above freezing during the day and the pipes are below ground, is it worth it? The Water intake itself (above ground) is all bundled up and insulated. It was such a pain getting everything working again last year when I did it.
How hard is it to drain? If not much you should 100% drain it. Consider it an insurance policy.

Are you hooking this up to a 20 lb tank? Make sure the knob on the heater is set to off when you connect the tank. Tank valve should also be closed.
Open tank valve before turning on heater knob. It does sometimes take a while to get the pilot lit.

Are you holding the ignitor down for 30 after the pilot lights?
Posted on 1/18/25 at 11:05 pm to gonecoastal
Yeah, doing that. Not sure what's going on with the second one.
And yes, holding igniter down 30-60 seconds.

Yeah just click the pilot about 40x and it will light off.
Posted on 1/18/25 at 11:08 pm to friendlyobservation
Yeah that's crazy. I have several and those damn things light even after sitting in a blind for a year.
I would try new small green tanks to eliminate that issue.

Tough stuff amigo.
Perhaps seeing snow can trigger a positive memory for your pop.

Appreciate it, but he is non responsive and shutting down. He can't open his eyes at all. Said my goodbyes this evening in case he passes tonight. I don't want him to go, but his suffering the last 2 days is soul crushing.

Clean the end where it lights with rubbing alcohol on a cotton swap. It will light right up. I have to do it everytime I let it set up a while.

So almost 15in of snow in Opelousas. What realistically happens? Pandemonium in the streets, pets heads falling off?
If there’s 15” of snow in South Louisiana, we’ll all almost die. That’s the kind of hard living bullshite that Yankees have to deal with. We’re weathered for Hurricanes, not the other side of the thermostat.

If it doesn’t snow what do I do with all this milk?
