I'm glad you guys made it through the storms ok. You guys might want to invest in a small generator. If you want some tips and techniques for dealing with no commercial power, I've got lots of them. Including what to do about the freezer. (keep it full, even if it's just with milk jugs filled with water and it will be good for 48 hours if you don't open it.)

We thought about a generator during Y2K. We thought about one again last night. We will probably be thinking about one when a blizzard hits next winter.
I am not the one thinking, needless to say. LOL!
Welcome home, by the way! I missed your return, but now I can say I am SO glad to see you!
