Flagstaff, AZ In A State Of Emergency!

A Weather State Of Emergency
I'm in the process of thawing out of my first "Weather Emergency." The storm that hit us for the last two days dumped more than two and a half feet of snow in less than 24 hours!

Flagstaff all but shut down!

No Power Woes
My house (and all the occupants) suffered without no power for almost two full days...it really sucked!

With temperatures in the low thirties and upper twenties, the nights were more than miserable. Going to sleep after sunset and waking up at sunrise was interesting.

Gas And Hot Water Saves The Day
The whole experience could have been much worse if it weren't for hot water and gas for the stove to cook. For that I'm grateful.

Walking In 18" Of Snow
I had to walk to work yesterday morning in more than a foot of snow in just short of blizzard conditions. A blizzard is considered when there is heavy snow and 35+ mile an hours winds. When I was walking to work, all we needed was winds about another 10 miles an hour faster and it would have been an official blizzard.

Power Comes Back On. Yeah!
According to my clock and the time I got home, the power was restored about 10:30 this morning. I'm stoked! Cable was restored about 4:45 p.m.

Day Off
I worked today, my day off. Ken MacCourt, one of the slackers at work got his truck stuck for more than 6 hours between Williams and the Grand Canyon yesterday, so he couldn't finish his run and I had to take the Seligman run today...cause he had to finish his run today.

I have tomorrow off and I'm going to do virtually nothing! I can't wait.
