A wet snow fell just before 9 pm and shortly after the power suddenly went off. A short later we found out a vehicle had taken out a pole, killing power to 57 customers. The hydro website gave an eta of 2:45 am I woke up at 4 this morning to no power and checked the website again. 19 customers were still without power. It came back on at 5 am. Some insurance company will get a hefty bill on this one. It is 25 F / -4 C here this morning.
When I reported the outage the woman expressed her sympathy for the inconvenience. I responded that with the fresh snow, moonlit night, and no light pollution within view, life was good. She responded that I should take a romantic walk in the snow. I laughed at her and responded, I am still married for 43 years. She laughed.
The drivers side power window regulator on the 2000 GMC broke the evening Wed evening. Our local parts house had one in stock, so an outdoor installation was complete by the time the snow started falling yesterday.
Nice story

Glad you got some warm temps down there. I took my family to Florida during Christmas. We got there on the 24th and it was a high of 46*. The day we left was the warmest...68*.

Been mild and dreary most of the time here. Been kinda nice without the bitter cold we usually have in January. Not much snow left. Supposed to get 3/4" of rain through Tuesday. Took advantage of the nice sunny afternoon to get some wood in.
Then took the 448 for a ride to the woods just to get it out.

I’ve been thinking the same thing. I hope we’re wrong, but February could be a tough

I feel like I spend more time doing my winter tractor conversion than I do using it some winters.
