They have been without power since Friday's storm.  The report is that it won't be back on until 11:00 pm tomorrow. 

She was caught in the worst of the mess.....had gone out to get 'storm supplies' and run some last minute errands....finally making it home at 3:00 am.   

She'll be checking in when she can with an update of her adventures.

Thanks for updating the family Mom

Well we lost power here at 1 p.m. on Friday the 18th, and it came back on at around 6 p.m. Tuesday the 22nd.  We have spent the last 5 days with no power, no heat, no water and no phone.

Because we are on a well and septic system up on the mountain, once the power is gone, so is everything else.  I can deal without power for 5 days, even isn't that hard to manage without heat for 5 days, but having no running water - indeed, no water at all, that is a bit much to take!  We ended up using the grill to melt snow and fill buckets so we could flush toilets

It has been an exhausting 5 days.  I'll update with the entire Lind's National Lampoon Christmas when I have a bit more time tomorrow

Great time of year to have that problem to deal with.  Glad to hear you're "powered up" again.

BTDT Cat.  Couple of years ago, we went 4 days without power or water.  After that, we bought a generator (now have 2) and I made damned sure that I always have at least 16 gallons (minimum) of water in my pantry.

Glad you're finally digging out though.
