Yikes! How long was my power off?
I woke up this morning to discover 1-2" of snow on the ground and my electricity off. I knew we were expecting some snow and wind, but please don't mess with my electricity! Anyone else?

I'm near Pittsburgh, BTW.

1. What a royal pain in the ass. It's beautiful here, sunny, warm. We've
had jacket weather for most of the winter. Only one really cold spell around the first of the year. It's been UNSEASONABLY warm all winter. I know that is not good really, but just sitting here thinking how crappy it would be to wake up to snow AND daylight savings time (what a farce) makes me grateful I'm not where you are.

Sorry.

2. We've had later-than-usual cool fronts
where I live in Texas. Spring normally lasts about two weeks then it is hot. But we've had some really beautiful, sunny days with highs between 70-80 degrees. I wish we could have this all summer. My utility bills would certainly improve.
