Ice storm 12 hour work days means no time for blogging.

the city looked like a war zone with trees down blocking streets, flattening cars and causing serous
damage to homes. Working on the high voltage hydro lines sure has proven to be a challenge during the hours of darkness. The blog has suffered as at this point my life is going to work coming home going to sleep and then back to work again. The days have blurred together and one has to check their Iphone to see what day it is. The weather has gotten milder in recent days which is great for getting the ice off the trees and power lines...BUT.....there is an alert now that while working in the downtown core falling ice the size of compact cars has been falling from large office towers. So lots of fun here at VE3WDM and I am hoping for things to soon get back to "normal". At this point it looks like I will also be spending New years eve and day at work.......just like Christmas day.

Get your sleep. I wish you well.
I was raised in Niagara Falls (state side). Guess what? I don’t miss that sort of nasty weather! Great as a kid, but not so much fun when you are older..

Good afternoon Larry and Paul, it’s a bit of a challenge to get the sleep pattern down but hopefully it will be over soon. Yes Paul the weather can get very bad at times.

Kudos to you guys up there keeping the world running. The rest of the world would be totally stuffed without you fellas going the extra mile to keep things running. And I’m sure there will be more of these events in the future with the changing climate.
I hate to say it but it’s fine & sunny with 35 degrees down here in Perth, Western Australia as we visit family. Rain back home in NZ for Xmas so we are lucky!
Good afternoon Rory, very nice to hear from you and thanks for taking the time to read the post and send out a comment. Yes the weather down under from what I have read and seen on TV is just great. As for up here we are taking it one day at a time with the work. I have been on nights for over 10 days now and it looks as if we are going to be going until Friday. The temp down there sure does sound fantastic up this way it is suppose to hit -18 and then the wind chill on top of that.
Great to hear from you Rory
Mike
