when i worked at a power plant about 30 miles north of denver we had a snow storm like yours. over 10 miles of poles almost touching the ground. the power plant was putting out juice, but our office, about fifty feet away from the unit had no electricity, and they had to repair the lines from a town about 20miles north of us so we could work.-----go figure----power plant----- no juice to our office--you understand don't bikerbob?????
