Was the motel in an area that got power back early, or did they have their own generator?

No, I don't think that motel has it's own generator. It's a pretty cheap motel and my room smelled like dirty socks...(and no, they were not MY socks). The town it's in is about a half hour drive from me, and most of the residents there never lost power at all. Mark's friend lives about a five minute drive from the motel, and he was surprised we were going through so much.

Yes, yes it is.

Here in Toronto we've had a few really significant snow storms instead of freezing rain (a month's worth of snow in less than a week). But now, it's been quite warm for the last couple days with non-stop rain so most of the snow has disappeared. Weird weather all around I guess...

Yep, we had crews working here from all over the place. As far north as Canada all the way to Tennesee. Not just in my area, but one of the excuses Unitil (the utility company I am stuck with) was coming up with was how North Central Massachusetts was just hit harder than anybody else. Of course, the fact that they let maintaining their lines go to pot has nothing whatsoever to do with this fiasco... ^^ Not to mention, they knew the storm was coming for days and took no proactive action. My town isn't exactly blameless in this either, though. They simply can't be arsed to take care of dead trees and the like, which led to so much damage in town. Ugh.

We are having similar weather here, also. Getting all the lines repaired had to take a back seat last weekend....it started snowing Friday afternoon and didn't stop until late last Sunday night. Almost all that is gone now, and it got to close to 55 F today. Lots of rain yesterday, I was cringing thinking it might get cold and ice up.
