Cold + Rain = No Power

Here in Southern Maine, it rained all night and was like 28 degrees, so it all froze. A ton of trees around my house are falling down, and there's a half inch thick layer of ice on every surface. I haven't had power since sometime last night and we're going to turn off the generator soon. I'm so jealous of all you peeps in VT getting a lot of snow, it's just raining now and it sucks.

That's not a dusting of snow, it's all ice. The pics don't capture it too well, but it's really white and looks like snow. Anyone else getting this?

im in albany ny and theres a major poweroutage from a cell in rotterdam. i came to school just to be warm and get on the net. ive heard from friends that power is out in parts off mass and also east of albany. im assuming basically all of ec got hit with a lot of ice/snow and power is out in most areas.

we're supposed to get that over here (seattle area) tonight.  Supposed to get down to 17 degrees, some snow, lots of wind, possibly power outages, and rain goes without saying.

Earlier the sun came out for a little while and it got up to around 35, so some meltage took place. I still don't have power and cooked my dinner (spaghetti + sauce) over a Coleman Stove outside, where it's beginning to snow. (generator only runs my well pump, PC and kitchen light). It's getting cold tonight and supposed to be a high of 23 tomorrow. Sigh. Well, I got excited for a little while when it started melting; even went sledding for a bit on the softening ice sheet.
