Ice and snow are great to look at when they are on postcards.

This all must have happened in some other part of Massachusetts.

Interesting that I learned about this emergency while surfing FR.com.

“”Ice and snow are great to look at when they are on postcards””

Google Wisconsin Winter Wonderland and get another man’s opinion of snow! It’s a hoot!

I went to Diamond Lake, Oregon snowmobiling for 5 days last year. Then I came back to Florida.
Lousy day today, about 70 degrees, gusty winds, and I was disappointed to see way to many clouds in the sky.
Went sailing.
Looked at the web cam in Diamond Lake and it is snowing. Real nice to look at.

Libs ought to be happy they are not polluting with greenhouse gases

This has been the coldest December I can remember.

Must be Global Warming.

This is just a taste of what would happen if the muslim terrorists take out a major power grid

Wonder if the lib voters in the affected states ever gave that much thought

Global Warming ‘Alert’!

[Cicero]

Ouch. It’s going down to zero her in Vermont tonight and tomorrow night, and it isn’t supposed to get over 9 degrees tomorrow. Not a good time to be without power.

I’ve got my wood stove and pellet fireplace insert hard at work, but the pellet stove won’t run without power, unfortunately.

Could be a lot of burst water pipes where the power is out.

65 Deg. F. and cloudy here in Mesa, AZ. High was 70. Looking out at a Ruby Throated Hummingbird at my feeder and my tomatos.

We lost power about 2AM. When I got up, I had Plan-B already in place. The gas fireplace, kitchen range and wood cookstove came in real handy. I had run a 5 gal bucket of water for an emergency supply. Got ready and went to work. I drove around two downed trees on the way in.

Power came back on around 1 PM, people in NH are still without power. During the big icestorm of 1998 we were out 9 days.

Seems the Northeastern states could learn to bury power lines so iced up trees wouldn't knock them down.

HELLO!

Let’s make sure they have lots and lots of solar power panels up there....

Under the ice that caused he blackouts in the first place.

Birth surge next August-September. A whole bunch of new little socialists.

My daughter walked out of the house to go to work this morning and found an ice-laden limb through the roof and window of her new car. They are without power and are being told it may be out for 4 days.

I’m confused: Why didn’t Obama stop this?

[Sender]

The absence of heat is not cold! Warming takes many forms!

[AmericanMade1776]

Guess we will have to fill in til all our North Easterners Freepers are back online and with us here, until then ..sending warm thoughts there way... Having lived in the Northeast for 20 years, I know it is tough going tonight for them.

[cmsgop]

After being without power here in the Northwest for 8 days in ‘06, I will pray for these folks, the frustration can really mess with your head......

We had 4.5 inches of rain, and barely missed the ice. We had water cascading over the "bridge" section of our driveway, but it didn't wash out as it has in the past due to some work Mr. trisham did last spring with the Kubota.

We were very lucky.
