The power company came out within less than 2 hours--that's super fast for them!!!! He checked out our meter head and then checked our box downstairs--didn't think the problem was with either one--up in the cherry picker he went. He turned the power off for about 10 minutes and then THERE WAS LIGHT! He came back and told us that on the utility pole outside were these old, old squeeze-type coupling they used back in the day. They were both melted up there (rubber melted on the wire). He put new connections on the wire and we are GOOD!!!
I guess when it comes to half of your power shutting down, they come out pretty quickly being as they don't want your house to burn down (we don't either)!! Thanks to mr. utility man for braving the COLD COLD wind and snow to fix our problem!
Now we are waiting for the house to warm up. Can we say RELIEF!!

Thank goodness they came so quickly!
Stay warm and enjoy your electricity!
Usually it is, "let's say we will be out in two days sometime between 2am and 11pm. Will someone be home?"
I'm shocked they hopped to it but glad they did!!!
