Yep, Duquesne Light over here............. I know it's been busy guys but it's been 24 hrs now. House is getting pretty cold, fridge is getting warm.

Don’t forget you can always buy some dry ice and pop it in the fridge to buy yourself another day, if you need.

Same and honestly pretty pissed about it. Expecting not to have power until Monday while my house is freezing. It's ridiculous.

Ya the Monday evening estimate was pretty awesome. That would be more than 48 hours for us.

We also have electric hot water and the house is on well water. The natives are already getting restless, I can't imagine what another day of no heat or water will be like. Especially getting ready for school and work.

I'm already planning to call in sick tomorrow for that reason. Glad I have that option.

Sigh......... I will have to ferry everyone to the grandparents later today for baths and showers. My wife and I both have staggered 10 hour days tomorrow and neither one of us work at a place where we can just call off either......... Well I mean we could but she does taxes and it's the busy season for our customers so while I could call off the only person we would be screwing over would be ourselves.

Yeah. That's exactly why I strayed far away from tax preparation! We just got power about 5 minutes ago hope you're soon to follow!

Good call, she is always so stressed out this time of year. It really is a years worth of work in a few months
