No electric for the last 6 days due to 6 inches of ice on everything!Thousands of trees down on power lines, utility crews from Canada to Mexico called in with the National Guard to clean things up and get the power back on. They are calling it the worst ice storm in history.We have stayed home and survived very nicely with the help of a generator and wood burning fireplace.One day I had to drive nearly 50 miles to find a gas station with electric to buy fuel for the generator. All things considered,we were blessed to have what we had to get thru the worst of it-many folks were not so lucky and there have been several deaths due to the storm.Most of the deaths I have heard of were due to carbon monoxide poisoning from poorly ventilated heat sources.
Power came back on about an hour ago.I have lots of catching up to to and will post more later.
