Snowy Weather
Feb. 27th, 2013 12:42 pmLost power and phone this morning. The UPSs on the PCs let us know when it happened. Currently at Elmer's as Lyle has some meetings today. I should have brought more work to do. He left me here while he went to check in on his mother and the chickens (all well), and drove to the other end of town to see what Rt. 112 was like (the road our road is off of), and it's pretty horrible. It would be quite the question as to whether or not we could leave again if we went back. Of course, at some point we have to, because we need to shovel/rake some of the snow off of the porch's and radiant room's roofs.
I don't know when it started snowing because it was already going when I got up a little before 6:30, but it has been a constant all morning and is still going quite heavily.
L checked our voicemail and there was a message from Verizon that a number of folks in our area have lost their phone lines and that the problem seems to be somewhere between Greenfield and Shelburne Falls. Nice to get an update, and to know that they're working on it. No update on power, but over 70 households up here don't have power, so likely a tree came down or something fun like that.
Unlike Nemo, this snow is heavy, packable snow -- which will be lovely to play with at some point, unless it turns to rain. If the problem is a downed tree or limb of a tree, it's possible the snow played a role, although I don't know if or how much it's snowing between SF and G'fld.
All the precipitation in the valley is rain, from what friends have said online. Personally, despite the inconvenience, I prefer the snow right now. We'll still have quite a bit of cold weather up here over the next month, so it's nice for the plants to have a blanket for a little while longer.
