So Much for Enjoying a Nice Quiet Snow Day 0
The power went out at about 5:45 a. m. and remained out for more than 12 hours. Fortunately, the house has a little gas fireplace thingy that kept us from freezing mercilessly, as nobody was going anywhere. There was about a foot of snow, with high winds and high drifts. You can click the NOAA link on the sidebar for details.
According to the power company’s “Outage” page, over 300,000 customers (households and businesses in Southeastern Virginia) were without power, over 10% of them in my city.
I have nothing but respect for the power company staff who worked outside in those conditions so I can be warm.
Normal insanity will resume tomorrow or the next day. Right now, I’m going to enjoy the marvel of central heat.
