Board 8 > Get a couple inches of snow, power has been out since Saturday evening....

(+) Yeah! (+)

and it might not be back until Wednesday night. This is f***ing unbelievable and I'm getting furious.

At my grandparents' house right now for Internet usage. Have a generator at home for some electricity but gas is expensive and filling it is annoying, and no cable/Internet. Missed football yesterday.

At least I filled out my bracket the other day!

How does snow cause a power outage for so long? Dear lord.

Reminds me of that south park episode where they're in the hospital and the power goes out

Apparently it caused a lot of downed trees and wires. Yesterday I saw one tree down across wires further down our road, and that part of the road was closed, but it was cleaned up today. There's still like 85,000 people without power in the eight-county area,

There were still a lot of weakened/half-uprooted trees left around from Hurricane Irene, so that could've been a factor.

What I live in San Diego(no snowfall) and even I have the common sense to know that this happens

I don't know what to say, the trees in the midwest don't crumble so easily.

What I heard the problem was is that since the snow came so early in the season, most of the trees still had leaves on, so more snow collected on them than during a normal winter snowfall. The added weight from the extra snow caused more trees to come down.

Yeah, you might be right on that, DH.

also the snow was particularly heavy snow, which compounded the issue
