Just thought I'd post we've been without power since 10PM thursday night.
Last night our son was able to borrow a generator so we have power
to the family room downstairs and the refrigerator,so obviously I had to
run an ext.chord to a live circuit.
Spent 6 hrs.yesterday cutting up down trees.
Still more to go.
Mary Ann bought a nice propane heater on friday.
Now all we need is water!

Pete,

Where are you in New England? Here in Connecticut we didn't have any 
ice storms, but we did have some flooding. Our basement had about 4 
inches of water. Combined with forced air heating, it got pretty wet 
and steamy in the house and I had to run out and get a couple of 
dehumidifiers. There was water on everything. I waited two days 
before turning on the Tron. Seems OK.

So we are neighbors. I wonder how many New Englanders are here. 
There's Ken L. in MA and Jerry K. in VT.

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!!

oh yeah...HAPPY HOLIDAZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
