Yes, my friend...I feel your pain. we had ice, and sleet followed by a nice dose of snow on top. Luckily, no power filure here this time.

I have a bigass gas generator sitting in my garage just in case. I also have five 5 gallon cans of gas to go with it. I live in a heavily wooden area, and it's not unusual to have a big branch from a giant Oak take out a power line. Add to it some stupid squirrels that get fried on the transformers. But I'm prepared.

Hope things get back to normal soon for you. I almost forgot about that article I wrote on "Living in Ohio"....hehehehe, I'll have to give it another read. I remember I had a good time writing it.
