Allee Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 We're getting pounded here too. It just took me an hour and 3/4 to get home from work (a trip that took me 20 minutes yesterday). And that was leaving at 3 pm - I can't imagine what it's like out there now. Hope they get your power back on quick-smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted December 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Wow, not for long with that 6 hour battery! Doh!Dude that sucks. Hope it's fixed quick for ya. Nah car charger helps with that It's making me reconsider living offthe grid, I kinda like the quiet neighborhood. The moon through the ice laden trees looks amazing. Ilost a mess of fruit trees, and our telephone pole is down, the lines are on the ground in four spots In a half mile to the main road. It's a mess Getting faster at typing on this thing!

kjl Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Pretty funny - I suspected immediately that you were on an iPhone because it autospell corrected "ice storm from hell" to "ice storm from he'll" ;) That happens to me all the time :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingCrimson Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Yeah, mother nature is PMSing, it might rain in San Diego. SATURDAY CLOUDY WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS. HIGHS 57 TO 62. WINDS SOUTH 15 TO 20 MPH. GUSTS TO 30 MPH IN THE AFTERNOON. CHANCE OF MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION 20 PERCENT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willywhit Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 good luck, bob. We're watching the mess on the 11 o'clock news. Drain those pipes, it's gonna be freezing tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik J Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Just got done working, we had power all day but there were sooooo many people with no power. We just happen to be a restaurant, so all those without power left home to eat out. We were absolutely packed - it was great. I'm going to cut down a few telephone poles on my way home, maybe use a few transformers for target practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I'm so glad I moved to Colorado...this reminds me of those two nightmare days in December last year when it took 7 hours to get home from work thanks to Boston traffic. I guess I can't complain about my one and a half block walk to work now, eh?? Good luck to you guys (both for travel and for good ski conditions!)

Good luck to you guys (both for travel and for good ski conditions!) funny Angie, we were talking about that yesterday, friday the 13th storm when it rained , got colder and froze and then snowed enough by 4:00 to gridlock Boston completely, people just spinning their tyres and nobody could get around them...everywhere. It was my wife's birthday we had reservations in the North End for dinner.Took her 7 hours to get home as well. We're going to do the North End tonight for her birthday, a year later. I hope and everyone else sorts out that mess. it's like 14* with the windchill and wind is blowing, trees are probably still snapping from the extra weight http://www.bostonherald.com/news/regional/view.bg?articleid=1138607&pos=breaking http://www.wunderground.com/US/MA/Fitchburg.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnisiWaya Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Full week by tomorrow night <!-- / message --> <!-- sig --> __________________ Sorry to hear that Bob, We lost power here ten miles from Mt Sunapee Thursday evening and finally got it back at about 7 PM this evening. the two houses across the street had power back on Sunday eve. We are on a major trunk line that runs down the back of our house dead end street then jumps RT 103 to supply about 1300 people. the crew that came to close the breaker on our pole behind the house were surprised by the arc and said wow that's a big load! they were from Michigan and had been here for six days. hope you get your power back soon too.

Justin A. Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 I just got power back 2 days ago...I was starting to get really tired of playing Pioneer Justin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Soze Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Aside from one horrible horrible ice storm many years ago, the power doesn't usually go out here in Ottawa despite some good old Canadian weather. I'm kind of surprised to hear all of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willywhit Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 I checked in with big bob a few days ago. He says he's got a generator but no water except melting snow. Plenny of firewood for heat. funny, he says it's nice to be able to just flush. Sadly, the Unitil power company really screwed the pooch on getting people's power back on and bob is a bit off the grid. http://www.thebostonchannel.com/cnn-news/18342645/detail.html http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&rls=en-us&q=barre+ma+map&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&um=1&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&resnum=1&ct=title ;) <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzldLJcorbo&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzldLJcorbo&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> weathers warmin up today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
