Could this be weather related?

I wouldn't know; I'm in sunny California.

It’s just as sunny here in Arlington, VA (albeit cold as a witch’s...brass monkey) and the power is still on as you can see.

Probably just some kind of security breach. Nothing to worry about. Janet Napolitano will tell us that everything is working the way it should.

“Could this be weather related? “

It's possible. I'm in Western PA and the lights were flickering last night. Here, it's probably a combination of cold and wind.

Blame it all on global warming...er...climate change. LOL

It is so nice to see we have fixed the global warming problem. At least we did something right last year.

Where in Cali? According to Drudge we are all experiencing ‘global warming’ on the chill map :) Seriously, here in the South we are 15-20 degrees colder. I feel like I’m back in Chicago. When I heard about this from WestCoastGal, my first thought was weather related

Yes. A water main break put the entire ground floor in about four inches of water.

Welcome to socialism. Zero’s trip interrupted, a Major shooting up military at a base, Newark, pantie bombers, terrorists lawyering up. But, we MUST pass deathcare. Keep it up commies.

We’re waiting patently for the fuse to ignite the revolution.

Air Traffic operations and navigational aids should be on back up power source or emergency generators. Terminal facilities on the other hand don’t necessarily have alternate source of electricity.
