Hey, let's pool some money and buy him one of those mini nuclear reactors!

[Toady One]

No laptop...  no car.

Yeah, some places aren't equipped for a snowsnorm and the drivers aren't used to it, so it's even dangerous to be walking around after the snow's on the ground.  This is one of those places (compared to the four years I lived in New Hampshire, anyway).

Here, the power is also pretty susceptible to wind, and were gusting around 40 mph right now (steady at 20, and that continues to be the forecast through the night).  Oooo  just lost the lights a second again.  At least I'm not out in the woods like my brother...  sometimes they don't get their power back for days out there.

Lets start small like an electric or Gas generator.

Also Toady I hope you don't take risks during Lightning storms for us... did you know that before the advent of the cordless phone the phone was the #1 way in which people were struck by lightning? Though I have no idea if lightning COULD strike you through your computer (my Monitor once over-charged and I thought I saw lightning... Freeked me half to death!)

If the wind's that strong outside, go stick a fan out the window and plug yer comp into it!

What is this? The Movie "The Core"?

Fans don't have the ability to transform the kenetic energy of the wind into that usable by computers.

Unless you have some transformers.
 You know, those wall plugs that are really big in comparison to others?

Failure to understand a joke?

err, it depends on the kind of fan, actually. Most runs on electricity, which could possibly be ran 'backswards' to generate power (that's all mechanically-powered generator does, turn movement input into energy output ), but it won't be enough to run a computer on it's own, for most kind of fan sizes ( Too little power generated  )

[Neonivek]

Perhaps my failure to understand a joke has to deal with my lack of Iron-E in my diet.

Luckly I can just carve some out of your statement it is so thick!

Note: The general tone of my statement is friendly.

[Kardos]

I live out in the middle of nowhere and usually the only thing that takes out power is:
A) Car accidents
B) Branches from trees being knocked down by snow/wind onto power lines, causing fires.
C) Maintenance.
Also, freezing rain only happens a few times a year here, we still function.  So whats an inch of snow?  At least salt will melt that, gets to cold for salt here.  Man it must suck to live in mild and tropic areas, having a heart attack every time you see water-glue.

Edit: I should clarify that while freezing rain isn't that common for my area, snow melting/rain falling then re-freezing on the ground isn't.
Damn that water glue.

Water glue?
Meh, this mild area isn't paying off, too hot in the summer, not enough insulating clouds in the winter to keep it mild.

Ice, it likes to hold things together when it's first applied in its liquid state.

[Neonivek]

Freezing rain is very beautiful! I love what it does to the trees! I don't like however what it does to the roads.

Well, maybe not in Ontario where they get ice storms big enough to knock down 60 year old elms and oaks.

This is a master craft yard.  All decorations are of the highest natureship.
In it is a lawn of expertly mown grass.
In it is a magnificent elm of 60 years.

An Ice storm has struck the master craft yard!
The elm is struck!
It is struck in two!

Hehe, damn elves, serves them right.

[Neonivek]

I live... In... Ontario... 

And beside a forest

I just love their "Covered with a thin layer of Ice" look! I also love Wispy Snow
