You must be my neighbor. If someone sneezes wrong, we lose power. We have power now, but I’m anticipating that the length of icicles on my house and the pending power loss are directly related
We just lost it but the rest of the street still has it according to Entergy website. It’ll all be down soon giving the encroaching red.

I was warned when I moved there that Entergy wanted to do a lot of ROW maintenance that kept being blocked by aesthetic concerns. A whole home backup has been on my agenda but it’s been a long list.

Weather related question, maybe HBF or other meteorologically minded individuals can’t help. To what extent does living close to the reservoir assist with keeping weather away? If at all? Watch the temps move through central MS and S, W, & N of me is sub-30s while we’re sitting at 35….per the cell phone data anyway.

Warm wave hitting O.Branch and now at 18 degrees. About 3-5" of snow and a hard crust on top of it. Must be some sleet. Power still on and never went out which is just short of a miracle. Guess I have to give Entergy props for preparing assets ahead of time to deal with any outages.

It’s a miracle no one got seriously hurt using food trays from the cafeteria to sled down the big hill across from Suttle back in the day.
HA! Watched a dude in January of '96 go down that hill with a blue plastic fiberglass kiddie pool from Walmart. He got airborne and did some awesome spinning tricks . . . until he plowed head first into some 80's vintage Buick's front grille. But he got up and kept going.
