After being battered by sub zero temps, we have reemerged from the Ice Age!
We expected to lose power as usual (sometimes we've lost electricity for up to ten days after awful storms) but thanks to the rolling blackouts, we made it through with power! YAYS! We did have no internet, no phone, couldn't drive out, but as we tend to supply for the apocalypse, we did quite fine. We had plenty of firewood, critter food, people food. So we suffered far less than many.
We do have some damage. There's pipes to be repaired (which is an easy fix, just gotta get the parts down the road and repair it. Our heating unit seems to have a relay burned out on the blower, but temps are up so we won't die.
What a wild week!
But I'm back and the internet is on, so i can catch up. My apologies! Who thought i'd get knocked offline during a swap AND a contest!
How are the rest of you faring?
