Well, I expect that you are right, Carl. Perhaps I was in denial! I haven't had to deal with one of these in a long time! I should have gotten out there and dragged out the generator and fired it up and run a cable into thehouse before the bad weather got here. Perhaps I was complacent because during last week's snow and ice storm my power stayed on and it wasn't so bad. This one is much worse! The last time I had to deal with one of these, I wasn't so crippled

Heavy snow, freezing fog and 23 degrees F in Raleigh,NC Hey, you had plenty of advanced warning this one was going to be brutal! I hope you and anyone else in the path get thru it OK. The 2008 ice storm up here still shows plenty of scars and some of my VHF/UHF long booms still arent repaired/replaced. Is easier to play on the ground with low receiving antennas!
