This storm was a wake up call for lots. Westport sent out cAll they were gonna do minimal plow till storm over roads r still HORRENDOUS. Driven smoother easier dirt roads on block.
We lost power from 9 Friday till about 9 last nite. When massive blue arcing lit up yrad Generator but no heat had to ship fam off to outlaws as she never lost power down street. Got mighty cold down to 42 in house with space heaters cranking
This storm sucked. Got just enough of driveway done to get out when drive gear on ariens disintegrated. Smaller ariens couldn't handle it. And still had to figure out other family memebers that I responsible for. Too much horrible shoveling
The. Power came on And heating element that ignites 1st floor furnace toasted big thanks to 5/0 that was able to talk me through a transplant of the part from the attic furnace. Couldn't get part Anywhere today
No cable. Worried that the power surge toasted all our electronics tht were plugged into same surge protector - blue ray player, phone, Internet stuff and dust buster. Tv was plugged into same wall socket and is fine. Garage door opener not workin either. Gotta put a call into insurance co tomorrow. Joyous blizzard.
Crazy thing is I remember it used to snow like this all the time as a kid and it was just the norm
Was funny at Home Depot today watching people fighting for $1200 snowblowers and generators. A truck came in with a load of generators and people were waiting in line to help them unload them directly into their shopping carts
Westportmafia still has no power 2 miles down the street so I let him punish my toilet and shower and sent my generator home with him
