I just spent two full days without power, 24 hours longer than I've ever experienced, and it's because central Virginia got absolutely clobbered by a snow storm that was effectively like getting an inch of ice. The local power company had such a small staff initially that they barely were able to get anything going after the first day and only got like 10-15% back on the next. I'm lucky to have it back now after two days.

They've brought in power crews from other states by now, but I seriously wonder if covid was responsible for a lot of the short staffing initially. It's such a bad confluence of events.
