No Power (UPDATE)

We are one of the unfortunates without power and minimal heat after the storm.

This means postings will be delayed for a bit tonight.

UPDATE: Hey look! Power and warmth and it didn't involve a space heater catching fire. We'll be posting semi-regularly throughout the day now.

NEVER run a generator indoors!
Reason: Carbon Monoxide from combustion.

That's what you get SCC for daring to mock Snow-Maggedon! I'll sit comfortably in front of my roaring fireplace, in my fancy mansion, that my multiple merit promotions helped pay for, anxiously awaiting for your return! Uh oh. I feel a slight chill coming on. I better throw some more denied time due slips into the fire to keep me warm......Hahahahahaha!

That's a bummer... Gotta wonder why we pay so much for the "smart grid" that's supposed to "keep outages short and to a minimum" (all from the ComEd propaganda stuffed in the bill)...

The wind blew, the house creaked all evening. My power went out at 5:25 AM and didn't come back until noon. I shoveled all the wet, heavy stuff and it turned to ice not an hour later. There's ice on all the power lines. It's going to be an ongoing problem until the sun comes out.

P.S. what did I do wrong? I put my frozen food outside but most didn't stay frozen!?!?

I feel your pain. Power was out for almost20 hrs in my west suburban neighborhood. No heat at all. Just about the time I was gonna spend the night in a hotel the power came back on. Thank God for small favors. Don’t forget to keep an eye on your water pipes. Stay safe.

Sorry for your troubles there, SCC.....
On a more sobering note, the coverage of our CPD hero was a sight to see.....may he find eternal rest and his family somehow, some day, find some peace...his wife and his children will have thousands of CPD members to help her and them along the way...

(Now, will someone tell our CPD officers to quit chomping gum - especially when they are in camera view standing by and in front of the family and the mayor..)

Invest in a Generac Generator.
This was by far the best single investment that we have made to our house. We never have to worry about the spoiled food in the fridge, or a flooded basement due to no power for the sump pump. Like any machine, we have a backup Diesel Generator in the event of a mechanical issue with our Generac.

Always have a 2nd backup to the backup plan.

I agree 100%.....Let the patrolmen who know or worked with the fallen officer have those seats. It's another fuckin photo op for these jagoff politicians. What the fuck was Rauner doing there? And Rham enough with those fake crocodile tears....you don't give two fucks about the police....if you did you wouldn't have fucked our retirees health care benefits.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that it’s because he’s the mayor and you’re not. He’s royalty and you’re a serf. He’s a millionaire and you’re a pauper. You just need to realize your station in life and accept it.

I will explain it to you sir,

You are there to pay respect to the fallen! Not take notes on other people. Pay your respect and stop with the petty crap, maybe your feelings are not sincere. Politician and the gold stars are there for political spot light only. Ignore them and don't get caught up in their BS. Hope this answers your question. Stay safe.

I remember Rahn Emmanuel started to cry at a press conference. He said that someone asked him if the police treated him the same way as the people living in the ghetto. The mayor wept his tears and said “No they do not.” He continued to say that there should t be second class citizens everyone needs to be treated equal.

Cutting in line at the funeral is a prime example of what a hypocrite he is.

To the post above beefing about privileged cutting. Inform your family that if they get in that scenario, they request that all late comers especially mayors and exempts get in the back of the line. Family requests and wishes should override the chosen ones cutting line.
