Lots of snow coming down now, pager just said HWY dept pulling all units off the road at dusk.
Snow is the big deal now, I have enough snow removal equipment to take care of half the town so It's no big deal, just a pain in the butt.
It's kind of funny as the county cop office keeps setting off our pagers every half hr to tell us the power could go out and what to expect. They are running our pager batteries down so it could become a problem. I think my brother and I are the only ones on the department that have generators.
I recall twenty years ago my power company gave me a pretty hard time when I put in a generator pull top. They said that towns were first priority and they could always reroute from another area if necessary. They let me, but insisted I did not need it. I was fortunate enough to get a pull top for nothing, as a farmer went to 880. The wire should have been another two inches long, but they allowed it. It's kind of peace of mind at no cost. I kinda think we are past the power outage stage now anyway.
