[PRCo] Re: Too Much Snow

[Mark McGuire]

  I came home from work Saturday afternoon only to find that the power was out in a very large area surrounding my house in N FL. We didn't get power back until between 3-4 AM so that was 17 hours without power. It is very boring with no power, and the eyes get very tired reading by candlelight. I should have invested in that generator like I wanted to. We had a very windy day here Saturday to say the least. I couldn't keep my cap on my head at work so I finally gave up.

But remember this was the same storm that caused tornadoes in the south last week, so you didn't really escape. You just didn't get the snow.  I'd rather have 30 inches of snow than a tornado.  At least my home will still be here.  But we did have thunder and lighting last night.  Strange for winter.

Avenue in Donora on the 2nd Floor looking out as the PRCo snow sweeping car would go up to
First Street and Return on its way back down to Black Diamond, wonder where it went?  Pittsburgh?
