We’ve had a couple of cold snaps in the past few months. The first one caused about a foot of snow and I was out of power for two hours, which isn’t too bad. The foot of snow wasn’t even that bad, but then again I’m originally from Alaska. After the cold snap it warmed up a rained for a solid couple of weeks and then we had high wind storms. And let me tell you soggy ground + strong winds = a ton of tress just falling over. Some people were out of power for a full week (mine only flickered a bit). Just a few days ago we had another cold snap plus strong winds but only three inches of snow. My power went out for twelve hours (that was a cold night). And the gate to our fence fell, posts and all. If our power had stayed out any longer I would have taken Gandalf to stay with my parents or found some other friend that still had power. My malamute, despite his arthritis, still loves the cold and had a ton of fun in the snow.
