Hi Wilman , What part of Bremer are you in ? Here in Butler ( 5 miles east of Clarksville ) there's a system wide power failure the last I heard . Been without power since 11am , it's 4:30 pm now . I had to run into Waverly and get the genny from the shop and a couple of extension cords . I have two space heaters and the computer hooked to it . 51* in the house now , that's not to bad . I have trees and limbs coming down like toothpicks with about 2-3" of ice on them with 20-25 mph winds . On the way into Waverly ( 10 mph on the gravel , very slippery ) I saw power poles snapped off and lines down from ice and wind , not many but it doesn't take much . I had to drive over the lines . There wasn't any arcing happening so I hoped they were dead . They're talking 10-13" of snow on top of all this . Twenty years here in this house and in Iowa and I've only seen one like this ! Might get a little uncomfortable and expensive in the next couple days . Sure wish I hadn't got rid of the woodstove now Ha-Ha ! Just heard another tree limb fall , sounded like it landed on the shed . Take care ! ...Randy
