Thank you Craig. So far so good. I can read everything without all the ads popping up everywhere.

Thank you for your prompt resolution of that nefarious AD issue. It’s a win-win. I can tap on the ad. … Stillwell’s for example respond to the order request and then jump to Ben’s wx and feel comfortable that all is well again.
Now if you could just do something about that three foot snowplow berm blocking my driveway….another 20 degrees of melting?

What the latest snow amount? How much do we have so far this year?

McToddy
6 hour(s) ago
SCM out of curiosity, about how much (roughly). What is the latency like? Say there's one of those 5s spaz's... does it kick on just to turn back off, or does it kick if an outage is 30s or longer. Do you still use a UPS for sensitive equipment? Propane or natural gas?

Drove up hwy 18 from Lucerne about an hour ago around 415. No problem at all, road almost dry the whole way. Be safe though when it gets dark and some of the water freezes again.

Regarding power outages, we all know as long timers in BB, there's one thing all homeowners must have. A GENERATOR! What a novel idea. Bought mine 22 years ago and has been great. No more worries.

SCM USERS:
We have been working all day on the AD issues that many of you have been experiencing. In working with our Ad provider, they have identified a nefarious ad source and blocked it. Things should be working a lot better now. Please let me know if you experience any issues.
Thank you for your patience! -Craig

WX alert. My sincere apologies for not seeing your post. There were only a few homes near me that were affected by the power outage and they came up later last night and made a repair for just us few. I was grateful to have power again after spending a ridiculous amount of money on fuel for three days in my Generator.
