We have power once more! I opened the east window and yelled thanks to the crew still working on things. It’s not back for our neighbors just north of us, but a neighbor to the east side confirmed they have power as well.

Still no power. Really grateful it’s not 18F like it was last weekend. 37F is still damn cold, but it could be worse. We also still have hot water since the water heater is natural gas! Everyone is finding ways to keep warm.
We been excited to see big trucks from arborists or power company pass our house, but they’ve not yet stopped to the particular tree fiasco in our front yard. Then we remembered that no one can drive up the main road through the larger neighborhood, all traffic has to loop through our neighborhood because of the trees.

Power is still out. I sent the yoga class cancellation message I queued up yesterday, just in case. Ursa has burrowed between blanket layers on the bed after his breakfast.

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.
