Power went out for 3.5 days

When the snow quit falling, the ice came calling. It was a mess of broken trees, downed power lines and stormy weather. For 3.5 days we struggled to keep food cold, by burying it in snow, keep clean by heating water and keep ourselves entertained with building puzzles and...what else? Playing pool in the dark with headlamps. It sure passed the time! Having the power back is like seeing a long lost friend- you instantly remember where you left off. The pies we took to the power crews weren't enough for all of their round the clock restoration efforts. Hooray for warm showers!
