My predictions for bad weather(actually I just pass on what the forecast says) have generally been unfounded since getting on the forum. Hopefully this will go the same way. We are forecast to get one inch of ice starting tonight into tomorrow. You can bet on losing the power if that happens, lost it for 5 and a half days last time, playing pioneer stopped being fun at the end of the first day. I am going to cross my fingers and hope for the best. I cannot figure out since the lines are carrying electricity why no one ever thought of putting some sort of deicing wire around the lines that would power up at the throw of a switch and heat the line like heat tape, I presume it is too costly an idea, but all the new poles and wire, plus triple time for linemen can't be cheap either.
