A week ago we lost power for two days after 9.5 inches of wet snow.

I just through more wood on the fire.

Got out the kerosene lamps and went about the day.

City people have no idea.

In the old days you body got used to the cold and adapted. Compare to now. In the fall when it drops to 50 you are freezing. In the spring when it gets up to 50 it feels not.

The city dwellers will be the first to die from severe cold and no power. There are no alternatives to heating without electricity. The dumbass leftists have eliminated fires, bbqs, or any other type of fossil fuel burning.

That is what candles are for too, if I lost power I still got a gas stove to light with matches. The young today could not handle anything bad today
