2. I saw my first snow-induced car-into-ditch-slide today.
It's winter.

And don't taunt the winter, or it might bury us to show us who's boss. :scared:

8. The roads will be impassable in 2 hours
I just made it back home tonight in the nick o' time .

The solar systems are charged up and the wood stove is at the ready when the power goes out...

...and I shoulda spent the money on the battery backup for the pellet stove...:(

The power went out before 9 this morning. Just came back on. Believe me, I'm grateful. I was bundled up in bed.
2 thermal shirts, socks, 5 blankets & sleeping bag waiting on the floor. It's suppose to get down to the teens tonight. BBbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrr.
Quick edit to say I hope everyone else is OK.

12. I lost it at 1am and it came back at around 4pm or so
I was a lot luckier than a lot of others, especially all of the poor souls who are still without it.
