Saskpower has come up with the best excuse known to man ... frost.
Ken Audette (Eagle Newsie): "Why has there been so many power outages lately?"
Saskpower: "Frost build up."
Ken Audette: "How do you explain Shaunavon not having power for 6 hours?"
Saskpower: "Lines had frost on them."
.... Brilliant! I thought it was such a good idea that I started implementing that excuse in my everyday life.
