Weather, changeable

Had one heluva storm last night. Wind howled around the house and we got 2-3 inches of new snow. In the morning the wind was hurling ice chips at the windows with attention getting bangs. By 10 AM the power went out.
I decided I might as well call PSNH to report the outage. Picked up the new Fairpoint telephone book. Looked under "P" for PSNH. Nothing. Looked in the yellow pages under "Electric", zilch. Finally dug out the old Verizon phone book. There it was, right under "P" with a 1/3 column display ad highlighted in yellow. So much for improved service from Fairpoint...
The robo phone at PSNH predicted the power would be back within two hours, and sure enough, the lights came back on right on schedule.
