Snow around here starts off kind of like this, not a big deal and usually only sticks around for a day or two. A novelty at best.
But not this year. Our winter weather "event" started off with a little snowfall, but then we added ice and wind. And things start to get a little wild.
And next thing you know, it's gettin freaky.
Snow started to fall on Thursday, February 11 afternoon. Power went out about 8 PM. Next morning, we woke up to a very pretty mostly white winterscape. We can deal with that, we have a generator for the well and a wood stove for heat. However, it gets a little old when it's Sunday and the ice is weighing down limbs and just driving down the highway is scary shit! Finally, the power comes back on Sunday evening about 7:30 PM. 72 hours of living like a refugee. No thanks, glad this type of weather only happens every 40-50 years around here.
