we had power out for about 45 min in our part of the city. i got so nervous. Thinking the power was goin to be out all night. i picked up a small generator, just in case hehehehe. Althou as far as we have been here, power outages are one in a million.

Well, was getting some blips earlier tonight out here... but none 'out' due to the weather yet. TV went 'half off' and back on several times earlier.
Yeah man, the snow! Wild! Its deep too! Its bare in some spots out here, and drifted to 15" in others! And perfect for snowballs, lol.

Does everyone keep their generators close by/with extension cords/ready to go? We have one that can power an A/C unit... but its always sittin in the workshop away from the house... it takes us about half an hour to have it operating lights/furnace/tanks whatever.
We have a battery back-up on one of the desktops, but thats the only thing we really keep set-up for power outages.

My wife wasn't able to make it home last night and got stranded in the whiteout between here and Calgary. She was able to pull into a field driveway but got stuck. The whiteout made it hard to tell where she was.
I was able to pinpoint her location using MobileMe and google maps to direct the tow truck driver to where she was. She got pulled out and made her way back to a Calgary hotel. Good thing she had an iPhone! Re the generator - I keep ours outside by a plugin for a generator panel that I put in our house. Power outage season is coming! Mitch
