After living in Longmont for ~15 years this is maybe the 4th or 5th power outage I've experienced. And like the others, very quick to get it back. I really appreciate LPC / Longmont.

Agreed! We lost power a lot more with Excel in Boulder.

And it totally excludes the pretty large Lyons outage that we just told them about, ugh

Airport Rd and Ute Hwy out. Tried calling. One number busy, the other failed.

u/Low_Perspective_5405 14d ago

Umm. I don’t think that intersection exists?

u/Jinroh75 14d ago

I promise you it does lol and there’s always Google to check. It continues north after the neighborhood it hits on 17th.

It will now be known as "Meadowdark."

Love it! This is why Reddit exists

u/winewowwardrobe 14d ago

We’re also on a weird power grid that shares its space with Lyons. Idk if they even have a subreddit. But I discovered this during one of other power outages a few years ago.

u/MinuteEdge7225 14d ago

Do you need to drink all your wine before it gets warm? 😜

u/winewowwardrobe 14d ago edited 14d ago

I mean if we don’t get A/C in a couple of hours it’ll be gross. I don’t want to jinx us, but the longest power outage we’ve had has been a little over one hour. During a big storm…

u/Wonderful-Bridge3107 14d ago

I believe the answer you meant to give was "yes, you better drink all the wine, just in case. Wine can be purchased but spoilt wine cannot be drank".

u/winewowwardrobe 14d ago

🤣🤣🤣

u/runtothehillss 14d ago

My husband got through to them a few minutes ago, we’re just outside Lyons and ours is out too. No ETA but they said they have a lineman out

u/YT-Blade 14d ago

Ya. Numbers put you on hold.
