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!

Back in 1981 I think, i was a surveyor with the South Wales Electicity Board
and West Wales got hammered . Here in the Swansea valley my home was off
supply for 5 days while I was working in Cardiganshire 16 hours a day
sorting out HV problems there. The problem with my home supply was a simple
L V line tap that was disconnected but was there was so much damage else
where we had to wait.
We had 5 different Electricity Boards involved in fault repairs.
