Again with the Lack of Power
Dec. 15th, 2008 12:34 pmWe've had three power failures in 48 hours. Can I just say that Nor'easters are my least favorite form of weather? The wind just rips right through you. It got down to 10 degrees F (-12.2 celsius) last night. The high yesterday was 19 degrees F (-7.2 celsius). All I can say is thank heaven the pipes didn't freeze and I'm so glad we have a woodstove as backup to our propane furnace (which has an electric pilot light). We've had snow for four days now. Not enough to do anything with, just enough to annoy. After the first day it was too cold for the kids to play in it.
Even when the power was on, half the time we had no internet or phone line. Needless to say very little writing actually got done. *pouts* I'm hoping it's all over now, but I doubt it. There is still a lot of wind this morning and it is still bitterly cold at 22 degrees. If we lose power again today I'm going to leave the faucets running a bit and pack up the kids and head to my mother's. I'm tired of making toast in a pan on top of the woodstove and warming up soup the same way.
