Like Ronnie, I watched the blizzard unfold on TV. The blizzard didn't reach into Southwest PA so we skipped all that you (Ship) experienced. Glad you made it through with no major problems, other than clean-up.

Thanks for the input. You are likely right about the country of origin being a fluid thing. It isn’t so much I am concerned about Chinese parts, they can manufacture to specifications. It is the deliberate mimicking of a known brand, including the packaging, that causes the question. If they all end up within spec I am going to use them.

Thanks for looking in, Ronnie. My town (Weymouth), about 10 miles south of Boston right along the coast, ended up with about 28 inches of fluffy snow...but a lot of drifts. One drift is close to 5 feet against my garage door due to 50 to 60 mph winds. Luckly, I never lost electricity, although the Generac generator has been running just fine since it was fixed. Tomorrow (Sunday) will be a long day with my 3 stage Cub Cadet snow thrower. Checked on the Reatta in the igloo and all is hunky dory, but I will brush off the roof when done with my driveway and walkway.
