Was planning a nice quiet evening at the bench tonight after work,but now I have no power,no lights,no TV,no heat due to this early season snow storm.Oh well,should have stayed at work.

Wow,John,sorry to hear that,I know you said you took a beating during the hurricane,hope the best for you.

I'm not all the way up there,I'm in Union,but the ice has caused the problems,but fortunately no damage.

 

Be well,Anthony

Sorry to hear about all the trouble you guys are having. So far we have lots of branches down all around the house. None have hit the house (YET) or the cars. The lights keep blinking on and off so we're expecting them to go out any time now. I've got the generator ready just in case. We've got about 5 or 6" so far.

...let's be careful, guys---this is really getting away from modeling.  I don't want to but I will report it if it gets too much further off topic...

Sorry to hear about it...I can sympathize, though.  I live about 10 miles East of the Rocky Mountain National

Park at an altitude of  6640 ft.  This past Wednesday night I got around 18 inches of very heavy, wet snow.  I

 lost power at around midnight. and, like you, my house is all electric.  I used my Coleman stove to make

coffee and snacks in the morning.  The power still wasn't on when it was time for me to go to work at noon

so, I loaded the house mouse into the truck and took her to a motel where there was plenty of light, heat, hot

water,  TV,  and a good Mexican restaurant next door.   I joined her after work and, after breakfast  I called our

Firehouse and learned the power was back on.  Luckily, except for a few Aspen, all the trees around my

house are evergreens and don't generally lose branches.

I hope you get power back soon and don't suffer any lasting damages.

All the best

Ray

Tojo, that stinks about you without power, especially in the cold. When Irene blew through here a couple of months ago, we had no power for almost a week. At night I used two LED booklights to light up a snack tray and worked on this P-39

Unfortunately, I got more done with the lights out than with them on! Tongue Tied

I have many books and my Lair smells of rich mahogany!!! Stay thirsty my fellow MOJOs!

Tried finishing up a figure in the living room yesterday, as we'd been w/o power since Saturday. NO power, no heat. Fortunately, we could light the stove. The devastation in hte trees would be great reference material for a post battle scene and the snow could be a great reference for a battle of teh Bulge diorama. We have a bunch of National Guard vehicle in 3 tone European camo and field green. Sure was nice to be able to get to the workbench for a few minutes this evening.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

I hope the power gets restored for those without and any damage kept to a minimum. I was without from the wee hours Sunday morning until noon Monday. I didn't get any bench time either, but that has less to do with the storm than with other factors.....
