It's getting better in my area. When I first moved here in 1992, if there was a snow storm on the Tennessee boarder (a good 250-300 miles), the power would go out. At least now, the power stays on most of the time at least until the snow starts falling at my house.....

Now thunderstorms, that's different, you can go out and piss up a power pole and knock out the power to a 20 square mile area....lmao. Nah, it's not quite that bad. ;)
