I don't know if it's the cold or the demand that makes them flicker? or maybe the power is being switched around?

I am glad it didn't go out. with the winds blowing so hard today I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't power outages in the area again.

Typically we don't mind the power outages. Especially when we are sleeping. We did however enjoy the smoke detectors going off. Its good to remember to check those batteries on a regular basis! 120V goes they all start chirping the night away.

The old timers up in Rockford told me at that time that the 79 blizzard was worse than the blizzard of 1934 there. The only one worse was the great blizzard of 1831.
