Oh, come on! LeCastor's got it exactly right. I live in New England, and trust me, if someone called me at 10 AM on a Sunday complaining of no power, I'd laugh.
Where I live, until the power's been out for about 24 hours, you've really got no reason to complain, let alone ask to be taken in like a homeless waif! You don't go out in a storm just to hang at somebody else's house. You stay off the roads, you light all the candles you've got, you put on your longies and wrap up in a blanket, and you hunker down and wait for the snow to stop and the lights to come back on.
Clearly there's another agenda at work here, and it's not one worth wasting time over! The passive-agressive mode of guilt-tripping somebody all the way across town into taking him in is so obvious as to be silly.
