We've spent the morning with several shortish power outages, but it means things have to be reset or turned back on. Browser history restored, etc. And the UPC in the hall closet that the router, modem, and switch are plugged into is shrilly announcing that it's internal batteries need replacing. I have stuff plugged into a heavy duty power cord for the moment and will order the batteries later.

This feels like a dress rehearsal for later in the week. A reminder to charge the little personal battery backup for the phone, charge the tablets, have several large pots of water on standby in case that goes out. Water in buckets to flush, etc. Get out the new propane cooker. This is a quick dip into the really cold temperatures, not a week-long submersion like February 2021, but everyone is still a little gun shy.
