Just heard from PollyPocket.....
Mar 2^nd, 2009 at 8:05pm

Jenn and Daryl are alive and well......but without power, landline, internet, heat and water. In fact she was shocked she could get her cell phone to work. I picture her standing on one leg while holding on to a copper pipe to get a signal. She reports 13-15 inches of snow in Inthemiddleofnowhere, VA with temps tonight in the low teens.

They are huddled under massive piles of blankets trying to stay warm until power is restored.

I dunno if heat can be sent via vibes, but if ya believe in that sorta thing, fire some their way......sounds like they need it.

We had the strangest thing I've ever seen here in MKE today. 14" of snow at the airport and points south and east to the lake. Nothing in the rest of the metro area. They call it Lake Effect Snow - I'm sure Charlie's familiar with the term. Stay warm, Donalds!

I'd send her one of my generators (we have two now), but I dont' think it would get there in time. The last time we had an ice storm (snow is uncommon this far south), the electricity was out for 4 days (some people did without for 2 weeks) and we went without water longer than that. Didn't take much for us to decided that preparation was key to weather disasters (I keep at least 16 gallons of water put up).

Try to keep warm.

I just gotta ask - what made you decide on the number 16?
