Oh that's good - maybe you will get lucky if crews are still in the area.
What happened to me one time after a major ice storm is the local crews came through and got the power back up for just about everyone, then they were sent south to help with the areas of major devastation.
Meanwhile, my power was only back up for about an hour (after being out for 3 days) when the transistor at the top of my street blew. This only affected about 20 houses so they came right out and told us we were screwed for a while because they couldn't justify pulling crews back to the area for only 20 houses. (Understandable but frustrating.) We ended up with no power for an additional 7 days. And it got really cold - like lows of about 10 degree F.
