1. We had some wind last night (Sat.) and lost power from 10:30 pm to 9:30 am

this morning here in North Kitsap. It's still continuing to blink and occasionally go out for 5-15 minutes at a time even though there hasn't been any wind this morning or this afternoon.

Not looking forward to another round of wind tonight!

It was cool to get a tiny bit of snow yesterday afternoon and this morning, although it didn't stick.

2. Had computer shut off, couple power blinkies bit ago.

I guess Nov winds are a bit late this yr. I hate winds and hope minimal damage is caused. Maybe this yr santa will bring me my small chainsaw...

3. Yes, small chainsaws are very handy--we finally purchased one

a year or two ago and had to use it during the last big storm to prevent a wind damaged, leaning alder from crashing through the fence onto the neighbor's driveway.

Hope Santa grants that wish!
