The article reports a total of 40,000 customers. I would expect a utilities customer would be an address. If that is correct, there would be about 100,000 people without power in Northern Wisconsin today.

I have relatives in the area. They confirm 9.5 inches of heavy, wet snow has caused numerous tree branches to break and impact power lines. They are out of power, and expect crews to take at least a day to restore power.

They should charge up their cars and drive to someplace that does have electricity.

Tey voted for Biden’s insane energy policies. I wish those who voted for Trump would get cheap heat, but they would only use that to make sure that Trump voters freeze to death.

It all depends where on the circuit one is for the power to come back on.

It’s a Green New Deal Simulation.

Call your Congress Critters to object if your experience is unacceptable.

Break out the solar panels. Lots of sun during a snow storm in northern Wisconsin. Then fire up the heater in your EV to get warm and charge up the cell phone.

Then send a thank you card to biden.

It is going to take a couple of days to clear the snow from all of those solar panels!

Power outages across Wisconsin affect thousands of residents after heavy snowfall

Probably because Wisconsin has been electing too many Prog Liberal Democrats.

I bought a portable Mr. Buddy propane heater for cold weather camping. But now I have an adapter to attach it to a standard 20 gallon propane canister (the kind you use for your gas grill) and always have 3 20 gallon canisters on hand. That’s good for a couple of weeks. Just enough time to chop a bunch of wood.

Heavy wet snow is amazingly difficult to shovel. Wait till it freezes! Nightmare!

Snow is white, so this might be terrorism.

Heavy and wet will do that.

Trees can only take so much weight.
