Gonna be a chilly day in the shop. Think I'll stay inside and feed the wood stove.

That's sounds like a very good plan.

Oh....and of course, power went out at 5am. Got the generator running for the important stuff like fridge, a few lights and the internet.
I'm pretty sure Lucas Electrics handles our grid here.

Yeah, it was pretty rough here in South Louisiana as well. I had to wear shorts and Flip Flops for Christmas. :p

Fridge... Say that again, while looking at the picture you posted... You don't need a fridge, you need more beer! ;) Of course, the internet is a very worthwhile endeavor. And as someone who's had more than my fair share of vehicles with Lucas Electrics, I felt that comment in my soul and busted knuckles...

Ahh yes, Joseph Lucas - Prince of Darkness. I've dealt with enough of that stuff to turn me off of British roadsters for several lifetimes... but somehow I keep getting suckered back in :doh:

Well, Day 2, still no power. Waiting on the Lucas Electric Company (PG&E) to get everything going. I fear they hired the same loving, caring, people from DMV to work on the power lines.
Currently 27' out and still dusting snow on and off.
Trust me when I say, this fiery puppy has been working overtime. Not bad indoors. Currently 56'. Damn near balmy. It's what I get for sleeping and not feeding it overnight.

Snowing like hell here right now. KDOT (Kane cty Dept O' Transportation) had their trucks ready to roll but had to wait on IDOT(Illannoy...see above) to get their shit together.

It gave us a break most of today, so I whipped a good chunk of it into submission.

Sorry you are out of power, 2LZ, but hopefully you will get a good snow pack in the Sierra Nevada this winter.

This was taken at Donner Pass and I-80 today.
We get the same systems. Some go more north, some go more south. Just depends.....

Day five. No power. fortunately the wood stove cooperated perfectly this morning. We could have it up to 50' inside here shortly!
The upside? We were awaken this morning by the helicopter buzzing the tree tops, inspecting lines. GOOD SIGN! Fingers crossed!
....and as a bonus, it wouldn't be "snowed in and freezing" without coming down with a cold on Monday. Sheesh....

When this little light come on, we have power! It gets stared at a lot from the dining room table, next to the wood stove.
