Well, power has been off at the house 4 different times today and thanks to the hard working guys at SCE&G it has been back on 4 times. Right now we have made it to the 2 hour mark with power which is the longest all day, but nothing is certain as it has flickered a couple of times briefly.
We partially dodged a bit of a bullet when this morning’s freezing rain turned to sleet for a long period of time and thereby diminished the thickness of the ice coating, as the small sleet pellets bounced of the existing ice instead of adding to it. Looks like a SPIA Index of 3 compared to the predicted 4, but we still did get a decent coating on surfaces as seen in the photos below (all taken from the relative comfort of inside, through our new windows.)
