I woke this morn to the sound of half a door bell...DING...not ding dong. So, I knew something was up. I got up to find we were covered in snow. We have a good 10 inches already, and its supposed to keep snowing for the rest of the day. Upon rising, I found we have no power. I knew this may happen, so I spent yesterday prepping all sorts of yummy food that is easy to reheat in the microwave.
We called the power company and its been reported that dozens and dozens of towns are without power. The snow is so heavy that its caused the trees to bow over, and some are even now bowed to the ground. The power lines cant handle that kind of weight, and it snapped off the grid. I am in good shape, in that I have a generator, and we are high and dry. We have plenty of food, drink, and warmth. We are going into town to help them set up the emergency shelter for town hall, for those that have no heat, or food in this mess. As long as the cable company doesnt go dark, I can get internet. If the cable company goes dark, so does my phone, internet, and TV. We have a ton of DVDs, and things to keep us busy. Say a prayer for those that are now in the cold and dark, and wondering how many days it will be till we see power again.
