I've been running universe on an uninstalled linux live usb lately. 2nd time now in 36 hrs I've had to reinstall BOINC and add projects from brief power outages. Guess it's time for a real install.

wish me luck, i can see and hear transformers popping all over. cranking my heat while i still have power.
I've heard that sound before. Get a generator and lots of gas ready for the next few days. Fortunately for us, we're on the edge of the ice in the SE and only getting rain. Stay warm.Quote:

Some of those fish I've had for 10 years.Quote:

I'm stuck in Mississippi. Was here on work, and now I can't leave. Was thinking of heading to our Baton Rouge office / datacenter, but the roads are too dangerous. Another 1/4" of ice coming tonight they say. Stay safe, and hope the power stays on for you
Ours is all melting but I still don't have power. It's been about 42 hours since the transformer across the street blew up. Everyone a few blocks away has power but I'm in this little dark spot they forgot about. I got an automated phonecall saying power was restored..it's not. I assume it was zip code based.

So crazy when weather is just "different". Similar weather Denver is just normal. No big deal. But in areas not accustomed and prepared, it's a serious problem. No electricity, heat, or water can kill even hardy folks.
Yeah this is like a 30+ year event for me. Not since I was like 10yo did we have an ice storm like this.Quote:

We've had temps at night below zero and a fair amount of snow. I've lived in the same house for a very long time and we only lost power once....A car missed the curve on ice and snow and took out the pole at the end of our deiveway. Luckily WI is prepared for the ice and snow. I've spent time in TX and I've seen the ice storms there. They get ice we get snow. A lot different.
