So I did the stuff I posted about earlier, gas for the generator, checked antifreeze in 5 vehicles, piled 1 ton of wood pellets on the porch for the pellet stove. The power never went off, 1-2 inches of snow, lowest temp here in the valley I saw was -12F.

What I couldn't prepare for was a cable outage at 3:00 AM Friday morning, Because we live in a valley, we have zero cell tower coverage, we depend on the WiFi to use our cell phones, TV, internet, and the cable also connects our land line. We were communication starved for 5 days, and its came back on at 1:30 Tuesday. Other than playing solitaire on my computer, I've been pretty bored....LOL. I'm at level 37...ROTFLMFAO....

My wife has had a upper respiratory infection infection so lots of sleeping. I made a couple runs into town for food, and stuff, roads running N and S were drifted pretty bad, but living in Erie PA most of my life, nothing I haven't seen for decades while living in Erie, whiteouts etc.

The cable company wasn't going to send out anyone to repair it until they didn't have to pay double time for techs, so the first regular working day it's back on. My wife works from home, and she has a dedicated business line that has to be on for her to do her work, she's none to happy with the cable companies "We don't give a damn when your cable come back on", says she's looking for an alternative.

Well back to normal now...
