Everything Michigan....

Happy day... I stopped by the house on my lunch hour and found from the digital clocks that the power came back on just before noon. The furnace was humming and the temp was back "up" to 54 degrees already. The biggest problem with restoring power was one of magnitude. Our one county alone had about 40,000 of the 110,000 homes state-wide that lost power during Sunday's ice. As of this morning Consumers said that they still had 577 discovered line-breaks to fix in our county. There have been bucket-trucks all over the place since Monday AM.

Hi Geoff. Sorry for the rough time you've had during this storm. I'm glad to hear that your power is back on.
What county do you live in?

I had to drive north on I-75 from Ohio yesterday afternoon. I couldn't believe how terrible it was in Wayne County. It was almost like the snowplows hadn't touched parts of the interstate. As soon as I got into Oakland County, I-75 was majorly better.
