A day of heavy, wet snow up here took down tree limbs causing the first
power outage we've had in about three years. Even last
winter with 5 blizzard type storms in 7 weeks and over 100" of snow
didn't cause any outages.

The crap today wasn't typical snow. It was more like 8-9 inches of
white slush. When I plowed it created rolls of water.

Fortunately, the outage wasn't too long. About 3 hours. I took a
ride around town and saw three trees that had been set ablaze by
having their limbs droop down on the high voltage lines. 13,500 volts
tends to do that.
