And power is back

And power is back - 02/14/09 12:18 AM

We got around 13" or so last night on top of the 9 or 10" we already had, and it snowed down to 1200ft (LOW).

Around noon power went out, and now it's back on.

Oddly enough when the only thing I rely on for power is lights I didn't miss it. Sure night come I'd have to use mynew LED lights but other than not being able to charge my laptop or cell I didn't miss it.

I`m sure things will change once I get my fridge hooked up, but other than that I don't "need" power. It's pretty cool feeling.

(I do have a generator if I wanted to make power.)

Once all my stuff is moved in I`ll have battery backups too, and could run my laptop/cell for days on one even.

It started snowing about an hour ago and we've already got a couple inches, supposed to drop some more tonight, and then tomororw drop a TON.

We will see smile

Wow, snow in Folsom! I used to live in Pollack Pines and then Placerville in 1976 and we had a mother of a winter that year. Don't recall a power outage though. Moved down to Sacto where Rancho Seco was still online and we had plenty of cheap power.

Power outages always make you appreciate the luxury of having electricity at the flip of a switch. Where I live now in Idaho we have a few outages a year. None ever seem to last more than three hours though.
