Christmas Eve Without Power

[Hardrock69]

Thank goodness for landlines and laptops.

It is extremely windy out here in the boondocks outside of Gnashville. Power went out an hour ago. Last time I spent Christmas Eve without power here was 2002. At least this time it is still in the 50s outside. In 2002 it was in the 20s and there was snow and ice everywhere outside. That sucked. Took the power company 3 days to get the power back on. I had to wear 3 layers of clothing to stay warm.

So I have about an hour of power for my laptop battery. And candles.
And a couple of flashlights.

Wow. Power came on just now. But I do not expect it to last.
Time to hook the laptop power supply up so I can recharge the battery.

The dog freaks out when the power is out. He sits in the darkness and growls at me, as he thinks I can do something about it. He does the same thing during thunderstorms. Sorry, dog. I am not that all-powerful.

Oh well.

Santa is going to crash his sleigh here in Tennessee this year with the wind being as it is.

I can see the headlines tomorrow.

"Santa's sleigh crashes....all aboard killed, details at 10".

Then we would see this in a few days:

Happy Christmas everyone. Hope you all get whatever presents you want.

It has been raining here for two days it turned really cold and a wind from the north is just cranking, then it started to snow about 3pm today and it is wet wet icy windy cold with all this fresh tiny little flakes of a powder Aspen would love. Maybe three inches of snow .

16 to 30 mphr gusts of wind
two degrees
visibility .3 miles
86% hunidity

You would last about 20 min out side right now just because of all the humidity and wet snow and the wind would crush you.

But, for the first time in a while perhaps the kiddies will wake up to a chistmas morning snow and there is nothing like that, to bring it all home.

Peace HR, hope you have a safe one.

P.S. HR, I didn't mean -YOU- (20 min)..after re-reading my post ...as in -YOU-, "my dog is better than your dog"....

I meant -You- as in Man vs. Wild type stuff. I/anybody wouldn't stand a chance out in this stuff...my bad.

Merry Christmas to all..
