If its going to be cold (and precipitate...) just might as well be snow.

I've never understood "Fall is my favorite season" people...it's like being a fan of the power company. I never think about the power company except when the power company is making me miserable.

(20,176 posts)I remind myself daily of the one saving grace of Pepco, the nation's most ineptly and dangerously-run electricity supplier.
They don't own any nuclear reactors.

(130,156 posts)and so does my friend in Silver Spring (where I stay quite often.) We cross our fingers whenever weather approaches, and then think of to where we should go! I'm in SOUTHERN Maryland at the moment, have SMECO, which is building a solar project. Calvert Cliffs is up the road, but I don't know to whom they distribute.

(130,156 posts)Pepco's users, DC suburban activists and complainers, complained loudly couple years ago, so they've actually BEEN doing line maintenance, and trimming trees, and all that stuff!!!

(22,845 posts)Some of the lopping jobs they have done in MoCo are downright excessive. I suspect this is their passive-aggressive way of getting back at us folks for daring to complain about them.
