> think it's 28 > degrees Fahrenheit right now, brrrr (hahahahaha) This morning we were at -1 F. Not expected to go up much today either. Last night (Super Bowl) our entire neighborhood lost power, so they missed the last hour or so of the game (500 homes affected). We were out when the power went out, but when we came home our lights were on, computers and network equipment never missed a beat. We have a 15kw natural gas fueld auto-start generator. We had it installed last year February, and had to wait almost a year to get a Live Test! It worked like a champ, although I wonder how much gas it burned off over the 3+ hours of run time. Hardly matters, we had power!
