In SW Ohio, we are still suffering the effects of snow and ice storms from this week. Last night, we went to bed about 10pm and then the cable flickered and died. About three minutes after that, the entire power grid in our neighborhood went out. I fired up two nice candles and we had an unexpected romantic evening. Power was restored in about an hour but we were both sleeping by then . . . [well, this IS a Geezer ping!]
Losing power in winter is not unusual here though an hour’s outage is unusually brief. Woodstoves upstairs and down carry us through, plus laptop (charged from car) and cellphone (charged from laptop) to retain Internet connection. *\;-)
