Mom lost power around 6:45pm last night She had had an earlier emergency text that it might happen, so had turned up her thermostat so it was warm in her apartment. I monitored the outage map and by 10pm it no longer showed the outage. She called this morning and said the electricity had come on about twenty minutes before 10. She is fine, other than just the shear amount of snow outside her window. She said the line of cars in the parking lot looks like just one long snowbank. The folks trying to clear the walks yesterday while it was still snowing broke their snowblower, and there are none left to rent in town. All the roads in and out of Payson are closed due to snow. Hopefully this will all melt over the next 2 days or so. The temperature hovers around freezing, so it should warm up some soon.
I'm fine. Still a dreay, drizzly day outside. I'm warm and dry. Bosley is fine as long as he gets fed.
Thanks for the update I am glad that she is ok.
ReplyDeleteShe is sounding almost chipper as the sun is starting to come out again.
DeleteReally happy to hear that Mom is okay. Our detention pond is full of water. But I think the sky is lighting up a little bit. Maybe - or is it just wishful hoping.
ReplyDeleteObviously yesterday it was just wishful hoping. Today the sun is finally out!
DeleteIt is really bad when the electric goes off in freezing weather. Even gas furnaces have electric blowers. Got a fire place?
ReplyDeleteMom's senior apartment is all electric. She had plenty of blankets, though, and it wasn't off too long, thankfully.
DeleteAnd it is snowing in Apache Junction! What is your world coming to!
ReplyDeleteI may post the picture of snow on the Superstition Mountains at the edge of town.
DeleteThank goodness your mom did not have to spend the night without power. Glad you and Bosley are also doing well. Appreciate the update.
ReplyDeleteSo far so good.
DeleteI'm fine as long as I get fed, too.
ReplyDeleteLOL
