Micah working the power lines (April 11, 2022 plus)

Portland received the first measurable April snowfall since records have been kept on Monday, April 11. The snow caused tree limbs to fall on power lines, leaving at least 120,000 people without electricity.  Enter Micah and the tree cutting crews! That's him in the bucket.

That's Micah in the bucket again.  The last time he posted he had been at work for 23 hours.  The crew is allowed to work up to 40 hours without a break.  Then it's 6 hours off, 18 hours on, until power is restored. Kudos to Micah and the crews!

Micah at work.  Meanwhile, Otis got a school "snow day." Snowfall ranged from an inch at the airport to 2" downtown to 5" just west of the city.
