    Default Storm in Northern Michigan

    Featured Sponsor

    I haven't posted in a few days, we've had a heck of a snowstorm hit us. We got 16" of heavy, heavy snow in our service territory. At one point, over 2/3 of our members were without power. We've brought in help from 2 contractors, 3 other co-ops and 3 munis from our state. It hit Friday night and will be Friday before everyone is back on. Amazing amount of devestation.
    Note to self, just because it pops into my head doesn't mean it should come out of my mouth.

    30 more linemen joining our battle this morning. Most of the snow has melted, but there are trees down everywhere. I'll post some pics after we get this done.

    Duckhunter you work for Cherryland? If you do, you have a young landy named lori as a scheduler or something like that? If so tell Newsy hello from AEP three Rivers.
    Be safe!
