We made it! Even the fish whom we had to boil pots of water for. We lost power on Thursday night around 11:30ish and it didn't come back on till Sunday at 6:30. Most of the time there was a feeling of fun quaintness, but when those lights came on and the clocks started flashing on Sunday I was beyond happy and relieved!
We stayed in our back bedroom which has a propane fireplace that was working (although not the blower on it) so it kept that room moderately warm. We went to my parent's house on Saturday, they lost power too, but have a generator hooked up to the house so we were able to shower and hang out and be warm. On the way there we went through Deerfield on Middle road and South road, it was crazy! There were trees limbs all over the place; power lines across the road. And the trees were so coated with ice, and the birches were all bowed down to the road, it was like nothing I've ever seen before.
These were all from our yard, above a bowing birch, a close up of the birch, the sun shining through the woods, and a white pine.
And one blurry one of Sam and Isaac with no lights on (camera couldn't focus, it was too dark). Isaac has his head lamp on. :~)
