SH> After a very cold November, things have warmed up here to about -5 but we
 SH> do have snow.

A blizzard came on sunday and took the power away for 2 days and it was -15.
Ice built up on the lines and made the poles go in 2 pices.
Then the weather changed to +6 on Christmas Eve and the snow melted and this
time whet snow made the treestops heavy and layed them across the lines and
short-circuit the 10 000 volt powerlines so from 6 AM to 1 PM it was black again.
