    They will hit it hard this weekend when the pay scale shifts to double time and a half.
    \Gotta love a generator and a fire place when the north wind a blows.

    Our power never went out. We got very little freezing ran. South of us lost a lot of power. We just got 8" of the soft powdery stuff, with a little ice mixed in.

    I was suspecting this. Any MI fan that wanted to keep RR, had to be up to something. I'd image tOSU fans love RR.
