The reason for being later to the Canteen this morning is because our ISP, Pioneer Telephone Cooperative, Kingfisher Oklahoma has had some issues related to the blizzard which impacted parts of the Central plains yesterday. A number of communities lost power due to the stress brought on by the heavy snow and strong winds combined.
Pioneer Telephone has numerous sites which run on generators however, due to the blizzard their techs were unable to reach those generators to refuel them. As a result, power was lost and some services were interrupted in some places, including Internet.
Here in Comanche OK, we never got below freezing. We had some light rain and that was about it. However, some place around our area did lose power due to winds.
In any event, things have calmed down, The storm has passed and our Internet is back on.
How's it going for everybody this morning?
Howdy, EGC! (((hugs)))
Glad the weather wasn’t too bad for you...and that you got some rain! We got a bit of blowing snow, but nothing stuck and it wasn’t enough to even wet the sidewalks. I know that it was brutal north of us, from Lubbock to Amarillo.
Haven’t heard from my kids in OKC...whether they had lots of bad weather or not.
