Sooooooo.... uh......is this , like, ummmmmm...... I don't know............Hurricane Alfred??????
Winter storm Alfred! There's little snow maybe 2 inches at the most. What happens when we live in the woods.
And I imagine that "We were at 100% without power now down to 67%." means you got some of the dilithium chrystals recharged. Pardon my country- bumpkinness, we ain't got a lot of them newfangled things around here. No offense intended.
About 6 inches of snow here! ONly had some flickers, Keeping my fingers crossed. Looks like I'll be blowing white crap tomorrow.
Was hopping to go looking at new cars too!

Lights were flickering, but has been OK for a couple hours. Have the stove cranking in case we lose power. The dog's not happy about that. We do not have a generator and have not lost power in the winter for 3 years. I know my luck will run out at some time. We do have a kerosene heater if we need it. Still in the box from last winter during one of those storms of the century.
Looks like the wind settled a bit. Had to go out and brush off the snow on the sat dish. There is easily 8 inches out there! I honestly can't remember if we ever had this much in October before?
I haven't filled the wood eater in 4 years(might have forgot how) so we dicided to do some baking(umm pie and turkey). Smells like the holidays around here! Jacked the stat up to 76ºF to buy us some time if it does go out. I doubt we will get cold and I know we will be a few pounds heavier! ;-)

Don't know about pete, He hasn't been on as much lately. Must be working hard(for a change! ;-P )!
have about 8 inches here, and still falling. I lost power for about 3 hours, but my battery back up worked until I got the Gennie goin. It is flickering now as I write this.
Not much accumulation here.. and inch or 2. but it's 34* out, so its heavy, wet and tearing trees down like crazy. I had to save my smaller trees twice already.

The weight is just too much.
Power's been surging all night. Most of the city is out, but i'm not. I have under-ground power in my hood, so it's a big help in storms like this where downed lines are the issue.
I shoveled the drive once already. it's heavy slush stuff. would rather do it 3/4 times than all at once in the morning.
lots of cracking in the woods.
have a big top of a tree down in my back yard (didn't happen till after dark, so no pics). It's the last "V" to the top and all those branches it looked like. Hit my fence too :/ We'll have to see what dammage there is, if any tomorrow.
For now, i'm warm
