The good thing rolling power outages are probably not gonna happen now...fingers cross..only bad thing...water pressure is low....news says we are expecting some where between nother 2 to 4 inches for today and a hard freeze tonight, after that we going into the clear, got faucets open external and internal just in case...come on weekend....
Damn you guys are getting hammered! Like worse than us! It was supposed to start here at 11 am but hasn't, and I was glad as I had my PM doctor today and he's an hour away, but it was clear sailing! I imaging I'll be plowing in the a.m. though. I hope you guys get some warmth soon.

Yeah we are, but we got light at the end of tunnel for the weekend, supposed to warm up back in the 60's all this is heading to the ne and new England area now..It's been a ruff couple days down here for sure. The good thing is we finally got power, in fact a good portion of the area got power, basically we went from 300k without power to 10k and they are still working. Now we just got to get water up and runnin...by this weekend we should be good to go.

I read that the reason a lot of power generation failed is that they use a lot of natural gas, and the pipelines and controls were not insulated for this kind of weather. The article said it happened 20+ years ago, but the problem was never addressed.

That's true they did fail, big time. The screwed up part bout this is that they knew it was coming cause of the weather reports coming in and didn't shore up the grid. They also knew for yrs that something like was gonna happen again cause it actually happen 35yrs ago so why didn't we start shoring up the grid then just incase something like this would happen again..We got a 1ft 1/2 of snow then. Got a strange feeling heads on gonna role after this.
