A snow storm knocked our power out

Tweet

After a very heavy wet snow we and about 18,000 other people in our county have been without electric. We have been without it for 38 hours. We have a propane heater in the dining room that is keeping things warm enough. The freezer was starting to thaw out too much though even though we had only opened it a handful of times or less. So my husband went and bought a generator about 3 hours ago. The internet was out as well and that just came back on so I’m able to use the WiFi until for about an hour when we shut the generator off for the night. My parent’s cell phones via AT&T aren’t even working. My daughter is sick but her apartment got to cold so she and her boyfriend came here for a few hours and are spending the night at a friend’s house. She doesn’t have a propane oven or stove like I do so I made her a pizza to eat. My husband ironically brought home two pizzas from a restaurant when he went to buy the generator. The photo is of Christmas books I collected for my great nephew all year. 25 of them wrapped and numbered for him to start opening daily December 1. I used scraps of wrapping paper I had leftover from last year.
