I know it's VERY early in the week. I've received a lot of emails from people that read my last blog post. Since I don't know how long, when they ARE able to come fix things, that I'll be without power, I've gone ahead and put the next chapter up into the queue.
We're getting a bit of round three of an ice storm. The power line between my house and the pole got so much ice on it, it took the stack coming up from the meter down, nearly ripping the meter from the side of the house. The meter is still attached to the house, but the power line is draped over the neighbors fence. Not on the ground, still hanging up off the ground.
Realistically, if all they did was push the stack back up straight, reattach it to the house, and shove it back into the meter box, we'd be good. The minor detail that we have a quarter of a million people without power in the state means my simple repair isn't a high priority - not when they've had to evacuate nursing homes and assisted living facilities because they have no power.
