Did a quick trip into town yesterday. Had dinner in town, came back to find a truck parked in the entrance to my driveway - flat tire so understandable. Was able to get around them. They asked to borrow a jack so I pulled mine out of the garage, left it with them and came back home to a dark house.
All the neighbors houses were dark too - someone spun out and hit a power pole taking down the entire neighborhood. Did not get power restored until well after midnight. Used my LED lantern and read some of the new Tom Clancy book - pretty good.
Woke up to 3" of snow on the ground. Bear is having fun stomping around in it.
I have a generator but it is such a hassle to get running and connected that I only pull it out for outages of longer than 24 hours.
