I'm dreaming of a white Fifth Sunday of Lent ...

That's our front yard this morning. It's only a couple of inches of snow, so that's not really so bad, I guess.

Last night we turned the lights off for Earth Hour, and about twenty minutes after we turned them back on, the power went off around here. At least we had the lamps out on the table already!

We haven't heard what caused it, but they had power back up and running in about forty-five minutes. They always tell you that their goal is to have it back within two hours, and mostly they manage that except when major storms knock power out all over the grid.

I guess this one may have been weather-related, although the snow wasn't that heavy and there was no wind. I suppose a tree branch somewhere was just waiting to fall.
