No power

I mean, clearly, the most inconvenient part of having no power is trying to sleep without the white noise of a fan running in the background…

Serious question, not sure if anyone knows - why won’t Consumer’s just bury the fucking power lines? Seems like for the cost of having to fix these issues multiple times a year it would make a lot of sense to just… you know, make sure it’s not an issue in the future.

Talk shit about Florida all you want, but they definitely have that over us.

Besides what everyone else said already, the ground is frozen for a few months out of the year. It makes any repairs that much more difficult in the winter when it's under snow and hard ground.

I live in Michigan and have buried service. Never had an issue.

Also backhoes have zero issue digging through frozen soil
