Egad! That had to be a nightmare! I can’t imagine the power being off for 5 days, much less 3 weeks!, during the coldest days in winter. Hope you had lots of blankets and quilts! And I hope you don’t have a repeat of that. Your poor trees have been through enough for one year!
It WAS a nightmare! The apartment was all-electric so there was no heat. I spent the whole time dressed in layers of clothing under the heaviest coat I had.
We certainly don’t need any more tree damage. We’ve had more than enough of that this year.
