I so remember those long nights where he left and didn't return until the next day or even later. We are so dependent on our electrical supply.<br /><br />You are so much colder than us! BUT THE SUN is shinning here so I can take the cold now that I can see the SUN!<br /><br />Linda<br />http://coloradofarmlife.wordpress.com <br />¸.•*¨*•♪♫♫♪Merry Christmas ♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸♥<br />˜”*°•.˜”*°•.˜”*°•.★★.•°*”˜.•°*”˜.•°*”˜”<br />Terry and Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016496778254072639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534124540070958712.post-90253258299507961232013-12-06T09:11:34.153-07:002013-12-06T09:11:34.153-07:00Glad you weren't without power too long, Leeni...Glad you weren't without power too long, Leenie, and glad you had the gas to keep things warm. I didn't hear about this...you're right - some locations don't warrant national attention. We've been weaving in/out of those temps...and I know more is coming. It's supposed to be 2 (F) next week for a daytime high.

I am glad you had your fire to keep you warm. Our school was closed this afternoon due to a power cut caused by a power surge just outside which caused a manhole cover to blow off! When the electricity goes in the school (I discovered) it also means that there is no water.

We have been losing power willy-nilly every time a tree limb falls on the electric lines. <br /><br />We have a sleet/snow storm heading in on Thursday. I just sent my husband to town for generator gas. We won't get that cold. Lows Friday around 9 degrees.<br /><br />I'm hoping our power lines dodge this icy bullet.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534124540070958712.post-14974781404400370162013-12-04T19:26:28.675-07:002013-12-04T19:26:28.675-07:00Grrr,brrr, that is teeth chattering.

My bil kept calling from the road, encouraging us to fire up his never tested, third hand, thirty year old generator. Women are more resourceful than that. We had a gas stove and a fireplace.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834682329952369721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534124540070958712.post-61687764207641817172013-12-04T18:41:36.087-07:002013-12-04T18:41:36.087-07:00Another reason I'm happy I live in Southern Ca...Another reason I'm happy I live in Southern California!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534124540070958712.post-35257600125656273932013-12-04T18:09:58.112-07:002013-12-04T18:09:58.112-07:00Oh, cold and dark, just hate that combination!

Durin...First I heard of it. Damn...that is cold!!<br /><br />During Sandy we had no power for 10 days. Big pots of water steaming on the Gas stove acted as boilers and helped warm the house...of course the temperature was never below 40...pretty balmy compared to below zero.joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534124540070958712.post-48259269261394720322013-12-04T17:02:06.746-07:002013-12-04T17:02:06.746-07:00Alicia, No frozen pipes.
