We saw one of the Com Ed crews at breakfast. He said 30 crews are being sent to our area. They had been out all night fixing lines. Trees limbs are snapping now, the wind is picking up, and heavy snow is on its way late today.

Funny thing, the roadways are clear. The trees are the problem.

We stocked up on water at Walmart (and some snacks). Looks like the lights and my computer will be out for a while.

You are in TX, right?

Do you mind telling me just where?

No trees littering the roads, that’s good.

We have trees that take out our power lines here all the time, winter and summer.
