Default Snow, wind and rain with power cuts too

It is the most horrid day here in N.Lincs.
Worst thing is the wind, blowing a hooligan(thanks Sacha for the phrase)and
it is very cold indeed.


Our lecky was out from 0930 to 1225, the longest

outage that I can
remember.

Hoping for a good year

Just think of those poor souls in Aran, not had any
lecky for the last 2 days and still no end in sight!

When we moved here almost 20 years ago, power cuts
were routine, usually only up to an hour, but often at
the wrong time. Things are much better now, and I
think we've only had one brief blip so far this year!

There was some poor soul from that area saying she was having to wash
her baby's clothes etc by hand. I's a good job she can remember how to
do that.
