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.
