You can have it. It's mid February and I have grass outside when I should have
3 feet of snow and 6 foot drifts on my lawn. I haven't even pulled the snow
shovel out of the basement let alone the engine rebuild I did on the snowblower
last summer.
God bless global warming. El Nino, Al Gore, or
whatever else it was that caused this!!

Ouch... they get you lit up yet? That's the problem when this kinda stuff hits
down there... your infrastructure just isn't designed for it. I had a GF in
Alabama for awhile... even a slight ice storm and the power would be out for
hours.

I have a buddy in Arlington (suburb between Dallas and Ft. Worth) whose had no
juice for 2+ days now. He said by the frydee there was no firewood to be had at
any of the stores.
Texas has its own power grid and often fares pretty well in such situations so I
dunno what happened. Here on the east side of Dallas I had 2 off and right back
on events but no real down time. I was in my office when they both hit and if I
hadn't heard the APCs kick in I wouldn't have even known about 'em .... except
that all the friggin clocks were flashin all through the house afterwards
