Got a Noco Jump Starter for Christmas and charged it up.
Yesterday we lost power for about 6 hours and the Noco came in handy to charge my cell phone and provide some light.
The network is on its own UPS but it was nice being able to sit on a chair with the Noco in my lap charging the cell phone while I was using it.
We did not get any significant amount of freezing rain to weigh down power lines. I blame NYSEG for doing a poor job of maintaining their infrastructure and trimming trees about power lines. We have a lot of dead trees along the sides of the country roads and no one seems to do anything until they fall. I brought up the issue at a town board meeting but the board said it was the property owners responsibility. That is until it rips down power lines or falls across the road.
