Ice storm last night; roads closed, transformers blowing up, power lines down, entire city & town of Lockport still without power. I had to hack into my furnace wiring and sacrifice an extension cord to run the furnace. I can run the PC but it's really sluggish...

Yeah, the generator kept sputtering out on me. Some dry gas cleared it up, it's much better now. ALL gas around here is 10% - 15% ethanol. Phone lines are good, so evidently no poles down.

My dog likes her sweater. 65º now!
