Winter Storm 2006

The power is back on and Christmas can proceed! We actually didn't lose power for as long as some (2 guys in my office got power back last night, 6 days!), but we were out for about 60 hours. Thanks to my Dad who had bought me a generator a year ago, we were warm, we had light, and we had movies :-). It was pretty crazy how many trees were down and how many people were without gas, power and food. We were pretty well prepared and made it just fine, the kids even wanted the power to be out longer so we could all sleep in the family room around the gas stove for a few more nights. We had friends over and played games to pass the time.
