[QUOTE="Bruce Almighty, post: 7861169, member: 297"] Greatest sympathy to those affected. We were very lucky, with no significant damage. (Just a short length of gutter to re-fit) A few local lanes were briefly closed with trees down. This shows up my age but on 8th December 1990 we had a severe snow storm that came so thick & fast the snow sat on the wires & snapped off electric poles. It was very localised to the Midlands. We had a week without electric and 3 weeks without a phone, no internet in those days 😂 We milked with a PTO drive to the vacuum pump & the milk was collected "as it was" no worries about <6 degrees, they were just glad to have it. No power to drive central heating pump (provided by our Danheat straw burner) , Calorgaz for cooking or toast bread on the fire, no TV just battery powered radio. When it all calmed down, Dad went out & bought a generator. We've seen it before & we'll see it again, fortunately we're lucky & wise enough to have generators, 4G etc [/QUOTE]
