Wind storm in Sierra's

Friday we got pounded by wild 40 mph winds, gusting to 70. Power out since Friday AM. and still out here at Village for everyone except a couple of homes. We are fortunate in that we use oak/madron wood for heat so are warm and have the remnants of (expensive) solar system with (expensive) batteries so have a little power if we conserve by turning everything off unless absolutely necessary. I say remnants because solar panels 15 years old, but we have inverter and 6 year old batteries we had purchased when first moving into this home. Needless to say it was absolutely necessary to turn on TV yesterday and satellite dish system to watch Seahawk football game . Phone system/DSL system central has generator backup so I actually have internet and you emailed the correct address whcih still works. All that to say we are fine although inconvenienced. got some snow. 2 inches twice but a bit slushy as temp hovering around 32.5-33 do it doesn't quite get frozen. Pretty out and also very quiet. and we are enjoyning it.
Expecting more snow tonight.
