Thursday night it was near zero, last night (Saturday) it was 53. And today it is near 70. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for the warmer weather. It means the power company might be able to get our power on. Tomorrow will be two weeks without the elixir of the gods, the technological wonder, electrical power. Generators have been our friends, keeping the home fires burning so to speak and our phones and computers running the last few days. As you can see in the photo above, our generator running our office, the broken tree in the background and our bulletin board with our Valentine plans which are on hold now until we find out if the power is coming back on in time. The paper had a story this morning about an ice storm that hit Paducah 107 years ago on the exact date. Same thing. 2" of ice, power outages, and the like. They are saying our power grid was in worse shape than when Katrina hit the Lousiana area. Our power company says they have as many as 2800 poles down. And we have 12-15 power companies in our region. Wow.
