Got electricity? Restaurant/food shop closed? Post here

Just passed by Havana Rumba and Sari Sari and their electricity is finally back on.

Hey, you guys, I am so sorry it has been such an awful week. I hope everyone is now safe and warm..and mostly safe. I couldn't believe the news coverage on CNN, which is when I finally got in touch with a good friend in Louisville: she was COLD.

Stay warm, stay dry, stay safe...

My daughter posted me yesterday from London England saying they got 6" of snow. Everybody freaked! All the busses stopped, much of the tube was closed, she couldn't into work so she holed up for the day. BUT she didn't lose power. I never realized that London never got snow of any measurable amount.

Despite being on a latitude similar to Newfoundland, London (as much of the UK) is in a temperate marine climate, and extreme temperatures are not very common....London usually doesn't get much snowfall, owing in part to the amount of heat generated from its large urban area....

Oh John! I love it when you talk geothermic weather!

Paris got hit similar to London, I think. I lived in north-Western France a few years ago for about 4 months (and traveled throughout Germany and into the Netherlands and the Czech Republic), from mid-January to mid-May, and while it was fairly cold and generally dreary most of the time until very late April, it never got freezing cold and I never saw more than a dusting of snow anywhere. Their winters tend to just be a longer, cool, rainy reason, with exceptions, of course.

The power was back on at my house for about 20 hours and is off again.....ARRRGGHH!!!....The power got back on at work today though. Thanks Deano for lending me the generator, I can at least leave everything in the fridge.
