Mother Nature gets a huge F for how it's treated us the past two holidays. I think we're all hoping the frost issues and power outages are over for good. I know the linemen (our heroes) hope the same. The continuous accumulation of frost over three days, while pretty, was dangerously destructive.

This year, the Lung A...
