in Zocalo v2.0
Due to crap-tacular weather conditions on the east coast, Sanfam and RC are without power and hereby declared frozen.
Sanfam would like his current housemates to die a firery death to elimnate their childishness as well provide him with a means to keep warm. :P
NYC has a small slush pile but only enough to be annoying.

Temperature in the house when I woke up with a nice 32F (0C). And still no power.
I find that soup is a must in those conditions. :D
And it is hard to get wood coated with 1/2 inch of ice to burn in a fireplace.
No phone though. Seems local switch center must be out of power still.
Well.
His computer is.
His Power Supply popped a capacitor, and who knows what else.

That's peculiar, around here usually the phone is the most rock-solid of all the utilities, at least in our area.
We were out of power for the weekend about 3 weeks ago. By about the 12th hour I my mind was beginning to think of creative ways to use the voltage in the phone line to stay warm...unfortunately, the only solution I could think of involved nipple clamps and calling the house with my cell phone...

Anyway...
Phone came back about 6 hours after the power came back. I've got FIOS, thus it requires a control base somewhere to transfer from the fiber optic line to the phone switch. My guess is that whatever is used to move it from fiber to phone died due to lack of power. My end had power. I had internet through FIOS. But had no phone through FIOS.
Wierd, I agree. This is my first power outage since getting FIOS.

The argument is not whether Global Warming is real, it is whether we have people to point the finger at or mother nature.
One thing that CAN be said is that we ARE contibuting to it... but so are volcanic eruptions in recent centuries, as well as Sun cycles which we are only beginning to understand better now.
There might be a bright future ahead, but becareful what you wish for, you just might get it...
