And there goes our power at last. At least the fire went out. This is fine.

The tree I’ve worried about all week has come down onto the transformer on a pole in our front yard. The transformer blew out, igniting both it and the tree. Embers are blowing down the street, occasionally into our house.
Do not like. No stars.

Power is back! We’re making sure to get the house warm in case it goes out again.

Made out to knee PT. Returned home to ice forming rapidly on branches and our power out. Because it’s been raining sideways since the wee hours the screen in our one east-facing window is nearly solid ice.

Contrary to weather app opinion that the storm would arrive with heavy snow, the “Tk, tk, tk.” on the windows announces that the ice storm has landed. Both cars are already encased in a thin layer of ice.
I got more de-icer salt down on our front steps, out to the cars, and the path to the bins for trash, compost, and recycling. Hopefully I’ll be able to break through the ice & snow combination since there’s salt out now.

Our power came back on around bedtime. Hopefully we stay up. Comcast has been down since Saturday. There’s a cable down on the road. We luckily changed to fiber at the beginning of the year, we may be the only people in the neighborhood who have internet access.
Ice storm inbound in 40 minutes. We are well supplied and have batteries charged. I’m going to turn on the electric blanket to keep the bed warm, just in case we lose power.

X-class X1.16 #SolarFlare just detected. I'm wondering if it's from AR3217? UPDATE: I just confirmed from #SolarHam that the origin of the X1.1 flare was indeed dangerous sunspot 3217!
This from Spaceweather:
"A DANGEROUS SUNSPOT: Sunspot AR3217 has a 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field that harbors energy for X-class solar flares. The sunspot is turning toward Earth so any flares this weekend are likely to be geoeffective."
