Power Outages

Sitting at my desk this morning, I've watched the lights dim 4x while my UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) clicks over to battery. Ice on the utility lines, perhaps compounded by cars sliding into utility poles, is making today classic day for power quality problems. That's my business, so I am interestingly watching things as I work. One of these days I need to set up a power analyzer here in the office, just to keep an eye on things....

No problems here - my computer and all of the mission critical peripherals are on the UPS - but the lights keep dimming. Probably a good day to be a UPS salesperson.....
