Probably at a -15 right now then.

I swear, if I kick the bucket this week, it will be on that same stretch of road. I went back out with the chainsaw yesterday morning to clear both lanes. Some idiot nut job came around the blind sweeping corner doing about 60. He locked his POS Lumina up when he saw me and the tree. He was sitting at a 45 degree angle, with me staring at the whites of his eyes when he came to a stop.

Still no power, on the generator. If the power stays out another day I'll have to think about putting fuel in it. (diesel)

Doug, How are things? Power back on yet? We had a pretty uneventful weekend, a little water in the basement.

Here are some pics from my Dad's bar. I was operating the storm ferry getting people in and out of the place by boat. I even made our town's online newpaper. Notice in the one pic there is a green canoe parked at the front of teh building. Nobody has ever showed up by boat to the FRONT of the building!

None. If it got inside the building it would have been a disaster. It was probably 6 inches away from getting in on the backside of the building(its built on a barge that tilts towards the water so it was probably 18" from geting in the front door)

John, No Power yet, day 4. There is a pole down about a 1/2 mile away. They have the road blocked, they aren't hot. I can see the fuses popped at the end of road. Thats way to close for comfort Pete. Doug
