We went into town for dinner last night, as we do every Friday, and all the restaurants were full. Turns out alot of folks around here lost power so everybody went to town to eat. Infact the place we went to sold so many pizzas he ran outta pizza dough.

 

The restaurants all did a great business and the waitresses made more in tips than they would normally.

 

I spose what's bad for some of us, is a windfall for others.

With all the money spent on "pie in the sky" alternative sources(Windmills/Solar panels) instead of upgrading existing energy infrastructure you can bet we ain't seen nothin' yet.

I was working in Quebec all week, and had to drive home yesterday morning, Ottawa was bad but the rest of the 6 hour trip was mostly rain, but you could see the ice on the trees all the way to Barrie area.
