The power just went out here in my neighborhood in Merrimack.

The battery in my backup generator was dead, but I have a jumpstart kit, so that was ready to go.

I have a pellet stove, and if the power is cut suddenly, the house fills with smoke. But I have a backup battery with a power inverter so it will do an orderly shutdown, and that kicked in long enough for me to get the generator running

We lost Comcast and my wife needs the internet so she can work from home, but we have DSL as a backup for Comcast.

Glad I decided to take the day off. 😉

I've been thinking of getting DSL as a backup. We have had no problems with Comcast and power in Merrimack. We have another house in Boston if it were a problem and I think that they're getting much less snow.

I can always go to the Nashua or Merrimack YMCA for internet access - I do see people working there for a couple of hours from time to time. The Nashua YMCA has a nice room with desks and chairs outside the swimming pool which makes for a nice place to work. There's no privacy of course.
