The PUC has agreed to launch a comprehensive investigation into PPL’s sub-standard performance in restoring electricity to area consumers.
Haha - no, just kidding.  While the PUC is going to “review” utility response, both PPL and Met-Ed will no doubt place blame squarely on the ice itself, rather than address the root cause of the problem.  […]

Considering that there are still people stuck on parts of 78 and 80, I’m glad I didn’t run to Philly on Wednesday.  I saw a ridiculous number of rolled, spun, and otherwise stuck cars on the local roads for what basically amounted to some icy roads.  When did we forget to drive in the snow?  […]
