<- Picture of Tahoe during a power outage 1/22/2010 that seems to have darkened most of the lake communities all the way around.

I want to thank Sierra Pacific Power, nee Nevada Energy for getting the lights back on so quickly. Only 1 hour in the dark, dark night...sometimes I wish we had more of them. Power outages are a way of life in the winter up here, generally caused by some yahoo driving too fast for the icy conditions and downing a power pole. I don't know if that is what happened last night and if so I sincerely hope no one was injured. However it is an object lesson don't try going fast on icy nights life is too short to be in that kind of hurry.

Real estate in Lake Tahoe rocks! In more ways than one come up join the fun.
