IF IT WASN'T FOR BAD LUCK WE WOULD HAVE NO LUCK AT ALL. !
Note to self, just because it pops into my head doesn't mean it should come out of my mouth.
Glad everyone is safe. I wondered how you managed to get thru the snow in a bucket truck. Funny how the average person doesn't know these things----especially average and where it doesn't snow!
Nice pics DH.
Ummmmmmmmm over the years i have worked on lottsa storm damages and absolutely none of em are as bad as an ice storm. Aside from the fact that itz cold n mizerble and often wet, Nothing can be depended on to work as it should. Closed switches cant be opened because the blades or linkage are frozen in a solid block of ice, Open switches cant be closed for the same reason. Fused locations often require a larger than normal fuse to pick up all the resistance loads.A leaning and iced pole can be quite a challenge to climb. Trees and limbs are usually all over the circuit . Everyone is freezing their hind ends off and the streets are frozen over.I'd druther werk a hurricane or a Tornado anyday. Congrats an a job well done Duckiie
We've got "ice gaffs" that we attach to our pole strop that digs into the snow and ice to add GRIP.

I was still in school 7th or 8t grade I think. But we where up all night because of all the trees falling down. It sounded like the whole woods was falling down around us.
It took over a week for the power company to arrive, But we had power in one house.
One tree had pulled the service off my mommas pole and another tree pulled the service off the neighbors house.
I hooked them together with 2 sets of jumper cables.
That Consumers power guy.
