Just got power back after the first outage of this storm.
Winter power outages make me unreasonably angry. I think this partly because I lived the first 20-some years of my life somewhere that winter brought a lot more snow and ice than we get here, and it wasn’t just taken for granted that any storm would result in power outages. Sigh. As I said to the guys at work, “You might think that snow, in winter, in Canada, was a use case that the power company might have prepared for”.
Of course the 120km/h winds we’re getting right now (that’s 75mph for the Yanks) are a bit more impressive than the standard storms where I grew up.
I wonder how many more times my power will go out tonight, and how long for.
