Mean? My power was out for 6 1/2 hours. I didn't mind it but Mum did. That's kinda mean. Worse, there are still 10k without power, mostly in two villages/areas, and many will be without until the weekend. It's the kiddies and the seniors I feel sorry for. Cold temps wind wind and the government had cut snowplowing services so badly that many people couldn't get to the Red Cross or community 'warming centres'.

But! This AM, it's NOT!!! snowing or raining or... Temp is suppose to go up to +2 so some of the ice will melt.

I dunno why most everybody is shoked and surprised that we had a stretch of 'weather'. Hey, we knew the forecast for a month. "In like a lamb, get ready." they say, eh?

Small potatoes considering the woes of others in this thread and the various sorts of devastation around the world, natural and man made (especially the bullets). I count my blessings and wish the same to all.
