As I posted elsewhere, here in Baghdad on the Little Patuxent we were out from 8:30 PM Wednesday until 3:00 PM Thursday. So much snow in the driveway we could not get the cars out and put the generator in place. So we spent the night in the Family Room feeding the fireplace. When the local power company sells emergency generators you know you are in trouble. In 13 years in Ottawa one power failure. A transformer as big as our guest bedroom blew out. It was replaced by one on on a flatbed trailer within 12 hours. I don't even recall a brief blackout when they switched over to the permanent replacement. Of course that was a government owned power company and everyone knows they can't do anything right.
