crazy dude, to see that much snow. Unreal. no thanks lol... I did see you have a pretty big back yard. Want me to come out for the summer and dig you a pool. lol... pretty interesting but when you live through big earthquakes here in LA, massive 30 days monsoons in Hawaii and grew up with crazy hurricanes in Florida you start to think what are the best avenues to retain power and stability. I have found buying 2 mophie XL Battery packs to be huge lifesavers for devices which i have, YOU can recharge a laptop several times, theres also a portable heater that runs off battery packs too that i found on kickstarter if you are interested. I take it with me on travel trips through overnight hikes in hawaii. it can heat up an entire room quite nice. I have also invested in a wifi or its called a MIFI from verizon that you can turn on / off service when needed as a portable wifi hub instead of the iphone one. I keep it in an emergency pack waiting for a day like that. you can pay for usage on it vs a monthly plan. Since Im always remote or FT in tech i have to have mobility comm up always. Let me know if you are interested in any of these things and ill send you links ;) hope you get power today my friend
