live in Salem Oregon and we have had a lot of snow. The transformer in my area blew out with a loud bang around seven thirty last night and we just got power back a few hours ago. Man did it get cold in here. I have at apartment that is all electric! I am just now finally thawing out. Between that and crappy Qwest service it is all I can do to post. Hopefully this holds up. It is still really cold and icy. Just in case, I am doing laundry and cleaning like a mad woman. Lol.
