Those guys earn their money. It does not matter if it is an ice storm or 100+ degrees they are working on the lines. My FIL did that for 30 years. With any big storm he was out the door and on the job.
At least you have a generator as a backup. We forget how important electricity is to modern life. It is just always there. Every one of us has had a power outage at home and walked into a dark part of the house and hit the light switch knowing full well the electricity is out. It is just part of modern life to hit the switch when you want light. Welcome back to the 21st century!
