No I am not warm yet. Wait a minute, I think I just caught one of your warming thoughts or a spark from a virtual bon-fire for just a moment....

read your post earlier - what I'd give to slap a mosquito right now...

Temps will drop a little more into the 20's but nothing that would threaten pipes and cause more problems at least...

I've just gotten my first actual estimate of power restoration, possibly by Thursday.

My electricity gets distributed by National Grid. Big Utility. There are utility companies here from Tennessee, South Carolina, Michigan that are obliging these contracts. There are some towns near me who aren't off of Big Utility but from small util - those without these larger service contracts. I've heard estimates of power restoration by Dec. 24 to some of those towns.
