Well, my adulations to PEPCO were premature, 15 minutes after I posted the last snowmageddon update we lost power again!  Coulda used some serious global warming night before last!,  you could see your breath by 1 PM yesterday in the kitchen! I have a gas stove and had a couple of large pots with hot water steaming to try and keep some warmth.  Kerosene heater will be purchased shortly.  Anyway the power was restored yesterday at 6PM just in time to watch the Saints win the Super Bowl.  The crew that fixed our neighborhood was from DELMARVA POWER and they were greatly appreciated,  I went out, found the crew and thanked them.

Losing power makes you realize how lucky we are with all the creature comforts we have,  keeping warm, using the computer,  having a refrigerator,  microwave, etc..  I kid you not if we didn't have electricity we would want global warming big time,  I mean like real hot, steaming, warm, toasty,  burning global warming.  And sure enough there is another storm on the way,  the kids are out for the next couple of days,  and all non essential govt. employees are off,  YAY!
