    Default Got power?

    Ours has been out since 4 am or so. Xcel has no clue about restoration. Wife said all sorts of branches were hanging on the lines when she took the kids to school. How about you?

    I'm out of town, but it appears my place still has power. Pretty amazing, since usually we get an outage if a mouse farts.

    I still do. Yay.

    In part because of all the mitigation after mother's day a few years back. I lost a couple of big branches off my maple (a concert of squirrel & snow damage) & on the way down they took out the mast & meter. That was a hassle & on my time & dime no less.

    I hope its restored soon for you.

    I've seen a lot of branches down today. Fortunately our area has underground power.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    That's a good long while to be out. Ours went off and on a number of times this morning but remained steady from noon. Now when a big snow hits I expect some outage and shower early because our water system is pressurized by an electric pump. Our longest outage this year was 24 hours. If it had gone much longer I would have connected the generator. An auto gen set is in my future.

    It is frustrating sometimes when our power is out for extended periods and we are close enough to town to hear the crowd when the Buffs score a touchdown.
