We had rolling blackouts with 30 minutes on and 30 minutes off for 2 days.
There was still snow on the 17th, but it started melting that afternoon.

Snow people!

Sunrise on the 19th.  Still cold (19 degrees) but snow stopped.


The snow is thawing and the Egyptian Geese have returned.
I just HAD to have some fun with them with the drone!
Power usage for February. Even with the extra power needed for heat during the storm, our bill was only $11 more than January.  Our power is provided by a co-op, and they don't take advantage of customers like the "for profit" power companies.  The rotating outages were 30 minutes on and 30 minutes off for a little over 24 hours after the initial outage early on the 15th.
