    Well we were expecting quite the storm here on Cape Cod. It was my turn to
    cook so I made a great meal and had a nice fire going in the fireplace. Right when dinner was ready the lights went out due to the high gusts of wind. So
    we ate by the fire and LED lights and it was actually quite nice. The power came back on in an hour. Wow! That's a worlds record....

    I was expecting the lights to go out around here, spent last week
    getting a new UPS set up, and a UPS set up on my cable modem. I
    found a nice program called NUT (Network UPS Tools) that lets
    non-conntected systems shut down automatically when the UPS detects a
    power loss, so no more scrambling around.

    We got hit hard here in Buffalo. Lost power but only for a few hours. Basically total whiteout conditions, so no one could travel for Christmas.
    A lot of folks are celebrating Christmas this weekend.

    Saw that on the news. I like being around the Great Lakes but this was one time I am sure glad I was not. Saw a photo or two out of Erie, PA, that
    looked incredible, too. Cars and semis just stuck in the middle of the
    road, like something out of a post-apocalypse movie. :O

    The power company's seem to be better prepared these days and try to lock on as much back up as needed. Im a telecommunications lineman and see the power lineman workng all the time, I can assure you, the Power Lineman definitely earn there money..! Its hard and dangerous work!!
