We didn't get ice, just snow, so our power stayed on. It got in the 50's yesterday afternoon, most of the snow is gone. <BR/><BR/>I remember being with out power in the late 70's during the week before Easter. On Easter Sunday morning, while we were at church, the power came back on!! <BR/>We baked potatoes in the wood burning fireplace. We had a camp stove, too. We lived in the country and had a deep well...the pump didn't work without power. We hauled water from town. The kids loved it. We had sleeping bags in the family room and "roughed it" till the power was on again. That was the longest we were ever without power. We've been snowed in for several days, not able to get out of the back pasture, too. <BR/><BR/>Looking forward to seeing you post. You will surely have some great stories to tell about your adventure!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
