Default I am Alive Again!
Just got through 24 hours without power. It was 47 degrees in the house this morning. My teeth were chattering! Hooked up the generator, at least I saved my food in the fridge, and had water.(I have a cistern with a pump for water; no electric, no water!)

The wife and I were about to spend the night in a motel when the power came back on. Hallelujah!

The ice really did a job here- many trees were severely damaged. Got some pix that I will share later. My Directv antenna is a sheet of ice, natch I have no reception. I tried to brush it off- but ice doesn't brush off. Will just have to wait for the weekend for temps to get above freezing and melt the ice!

And to think it will be single digits on Saturday am!

You know, if anyone has the nerve to mention "global warming" to me, they'll be minus some teeth. First one to get in line should be Algore.

Anyway, still planning to head to the herf, hope to see many friends and make many new ones!

Stay warm out there!

Where you at?

I remember those ice storms from when I used to live in New England - unbelievably nasty! Thank goodness those days are behind me now. Best of luck with it.

Wow!
Glad you got through it.
At least for me, whenever we have power failure, it is hot.
Can't imagine dealing with the cold that way.

Like I said, we were gonna do that as well if the power had not come back on! Still 12,000 w/o power in Clermont County- I feel bad for them!
