How much do we need power?  We don't actually think about it much as we take it for granted.  So what happens when you have none?
  • Imagine waking up to darkness and the fact that the alarm did not go off as the power went for the whole area hours ago
  • Imagine not being able to make it light because your blinds are electrically-powered
  • Imagine not being able to have coffee because the coffee machine needs, erm, light
  • Imagine looking outside and seeing many in the same situation

But, on the bright side.....
  • Imagine that you can still get internet access over 3G
  • Imagine that you have a backup coffee machine and cook with gas...
  • Imagine that you still have summer tyres on the car and that those summer tyres are nearly worn out
  • Imagine that you're working from home today!!

The thing I'm most gutted about is that my Uptime of 222 days has been interrupted by the local power station being snowed-upon and giving up hope at 5am this morning

But, on the bright side, there are some "broken" trees from the weight of the snow.....pictures coming soon!!
