Power Outages in Baltimore...Call 1-877-778-2222 - Don't assume BGE Knows

This is a power line in Baltimore covered with wet heavy snow. And this weight is what is causing the power outages all over our area. This winter beauty also brings with it danger.

This is my neighbor Moishe Reches who knocked on my door a few minutes ago asking to shovel my steps and driveway. I was all ready to go out and start up the snow blower and make use of my shovel...already outside the door.

Moshe took my ready shovel and began his much appreciated work. Take a look at that blue vehicle..another neighbor whose car is now stuck in the street.

Thank you Moishe for  your kindness and hard work!

Only a mile away, my daughter's condo has no power. No power means no electricity, no stove, no microwave, no heat, no lights and even more important NO INTERNET CONNECTION. She was able to dig her way to the car to recharge her iPhone. How in the world could I be stuck in the house with no connection. That would also mean NO ActiveRain! Guess we could all go snuggle.

It is beautiful, dangerous and inconvenient.  While I miss that first snowfall and being snowed-in with a fire, big pot of chili and a great book, by the 2nd day, I'm ready to "bust out"!  Enjoy.

I have a deadline on a loan commitment today and my lender has no power!  Hope they will understand and give us an extension...

Celeste, My daughter just got her power back on.

Tish, Good talking with you today.

Dan, One would think that if the lender is the one with no power..an extension would be given.

Margaret, we have had power, although a friend lost hers and she and her son hung out at my house all morning. All was good, they brought donuts!

Margaret,

I'm so sick of the BG&E power failures in my neighborhood. I must have a dozen outages a year, if not more.

Margaret, too funny about the internet loss.  At least you can always add some layers to keep the cold at bay.  In summer unfortunately we are limited as to how much we can take off.  Be careful!

Rich, Sounds like time for a generator for you.

Kevin, Did not have to go out, other than take a few pictures. The neighbor kids did all my shoveling. How nice is that?

Margaret--Wow!  Did you get some snow!  I must be missing something, but I am not seeing the snowman that I am sure you had time to build since the neighbor did your driveway for you!  Nest post?

MArgaret, you said it so right - The winter beauty brings its danger. I did take some pictures today with another 15" snow - unlike Baltimore, the snow is fluffy and no danger for power lines, but we have 2 or 3 more days of flurries and another storm next week! The by-product? I am enjoying rain in snow! I mean ActiveRain!

Pat, Stay tuned. I am doing a post for you.Snowmen...Baltimore Style... Some Assembly Required

Praful, We went out today, got a bit stuck on our street. Glad I had a shovel along. The beauty was overwhelming. One appointment and then went driving through a cemetary so we could go slow enough to enjoy the scenery.
