Ice Storm

I am back #-o

I was without electricity from Wednesday (10:00 PM) till Friday (12:00 PM) because of the before mentioned “ice storm”. Only got Internet access back about 24 hours ago. Only a dusting of snow here, but I was ground-zero for the ice. The storm started as freezing rain/sleet on Wednesday (2:00 PM) and continue till Thursday (11:00 AM). In total I received an amazing 1.72" of precipitation, most which feel as freezing rain. Everything was covered with .5" - 1" of ice. On Wednesday night, I could hear the tree branches breaking. The worst ice storm I have seen for several years, and there are still thousands without power.

I set up an image gallery of some damage from my yard(this is small stuff, there are many large trees (+2’ diameter) down

If you are on dialup, be warned it takes a while. If it is slow, that is because this is a home server. If there are any problems, do tell. This is a new software I just started to try today, so any feedback is welcome.

Snow I can deal with, freezing rain/ice is a whole different experience. A few years ago we had an ice storm . I remember hearing tree branches snap, sounded like gun shots. We were without electricity nearly a week as it brought down the high voltage lines in the country. We had a pile of debris on the curbs and it took the city weeks to get rid of it. What is worse is that like some science fiction movie the neighbors across the street had electricity, but we didn’t . the worse part, we had to sleep at the mother-in-laws and that was the scary part.

Hope thing get better. I bet with a 100ft barometer you could have predicted it.

The address (URL) is not a valid format and cannot be read. A typical address will start with “http://”, followed by an address, (e.g. www.netscape.com), followed by a path to the content (or just “/”). A common cause for the problem is using backslashes() instead of forward slashes (/).

The file specified by the address (URL) cannot be found. Check that the file exists and that you have sufficient permissions to view it.

The address (URL) does not correspond to a known site and could not be loaded. This could be due to a misspelling in the address or because the site does not exist. If the address is known to be valid, or if the problem occurs for many sites, it may be an issue with your proxy service (if you use one) or the directory name service lookup. In such cases you should consult your system documentation, administrator or Internet Service Provider (ISP) as appropriate for further assistance.

The address (URL) starts with a protocol that is not recognized by the browser. A protocol is the part at the front of the address, such as http: or ftp: which tells the browser how to connect to the site. In this instance, the protocol is unknown so loading cannot continue. Check that the address is correct before retrying.

The browser was unable to connect to the specified site, even though it exists. This may be because the site does not accept connections from your computer, the service may be down, or the site does not support the service or port that you tried to connect to.

The browser timed out while trying to connect to the specified site. The site may be experiencing high loads that are slowing it down, or network problems are preventing data from being received from it in a timely manner. If the site is likely to be busy, consider waiting a few moments before retrying the request.

The browser has stopped a connection because the site is redirecting requests to itself in a manner which prevents it from ever completing.

The site responded to the network request in an unexpected manner. This may be due to address (URL) using the wrong protocol for the specified port, or a non-standard configuration on the site which is running different services than expected.

The link to the site was dropped unexpectedly while negotiating a connection or transferring data. This may be due to a network fault somewhere between the site and your computer. If the problem persists, consult your system documentation, administrator or Internet Service Provider (ISP) as appropriate for further assistance.

The browser is currently offline and cannot connect to the requested site. Place your browser in online mode before trying again.

Try again

thanks to everyone for trying to check my site. Very odd, maybe some sort of permission thing, because it is working fine for me…
