I hear ya. The thing that takes down powerlines is wet snow and ice. When it’s really cold, it doesn’t snow, except for lake effect snow. The leading edge of the cold front squeezes the moisture out of the air, so really cold air is dry and doesn’t take down powerlines.
I would much rather spend a couple of nights cuddling wifey under the blankets than spend a few days in Gulf summer heat without A/C. No question about it.
The heat was so smothering after Isaac, Mrs Romulus wouldn't even be in the same room with me.
We moved to a downtown hotel for three nights. It was either that or murder, and I was afraid to be the survivor.
