i'm here (Litchfield, NH...rural, farmland area just south of
Manchester). we were without power until late Sunday afternoon.
fortunately, we just got hooked up to town water over the summer and
the electric in the house had been upgraded several years ago and the
boxes to switch over to a generator were installed. so, we had water
and ran our portable generator every few hours to keep the place warm
and keep the refrigerators running. it was inconvenient but not a
real big deal for us. still...i'm glad things are pretty much back to
normal. dodging all those trees/tree pieces and downed power lines
was a pain-in-the-ass!!
Steve
oh yeah...HAPPY HOLIDAZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
