Snow Storm 2009!

 After several little “sky farts” this year, we finally got  ”dumped” on.  Below are a couple of emails I sent out regarding this event…

   During the night…

Well, am I ever glad we took time on Saturday to get a little more firewood around
here! Click > (FIREWOOD) The time is past 12:30am this Monday morning and the electric has just gone out! Not with an occasional flicker either. It simplyblanked right out with no warning at all! I just got done making surethe stove in the basement was stoked with wood. It seemed to beburning nicely and i am sure it will keep us warm as our single sourceof heat until power is restored. The worse thing I will have to face is having to get our water pump primed since the check valve is bad and it always loses prime after a short period without electric! Thelast priming situation was a royal pain in the bahunkus! Oh how i dread that project. Uncle Jesse’s can sure be glad they are missing out on this sort of drama. As i lay here in bed typing this on my cell phone, since my computers and internet are out with the power, it sounds like the wind has really picked up. Last I looked outside with the flashlight, the snow is still coming down at a good clip.

This morning…

  Two really good things to report. 

 1. The power was restored after being out maybe an hour or so.

 2. The water pump did not have to be primed! (My biggest concern)

   Another really great thing is that my high speed internet is back! How boring it would be to be snowed in without that!

       I would say we have about 8 inches so far. Looking at the radar we may get another inch or so before it is supposed to end early this afternoon.

 Here are pics that will show the amount of snow since last night…
