What I'm worried about are the high winds that are supposed to be heading our way. We're in the woods and always seem to be the first to lose power whenever the winds blow. I'm worried that our pipes might freeze if we lose power for an extended period of time... :-(

If you don't see me on FR for awhile this weekend, you'll know what happened...

The football games tomorrow are going to be VERY interesting in this weather... hope we still have power so we can watch 'em!

We lose power very easily, too.

In this town, all the electrical wires are in the back yards. (gas lamps are on the streets) Since we back up onto a patch of woods, often the branches come down on those lines and off goes the power. But the phone lines seem to always survive. My computer is 'dial-up' (still) and because of that, when we put a generator in for Y2K, it was because I wanted computer access. If I had Comcast we would have been in limbo!!

Its been a nice day to be in!! The fire is going, I have milk/bread/toilet paper and am lounging in cyberspace. What more do I need?

Second if you include my neck of the woods and that is my fear as well. We not only lose electricity but when power goes so does our water. When electricity is restored it takes an eternity for our plumber to kick start the pump that provides water for 45 homes.

Winds are beginning to pick up and snow drifts are mounting. Stay safe.

Us too, I'm pretty prepared though.
Wood stove is in action, gas stove ready.
The only problem here is water. Well doesn't work without power.
Freep mail me if your in a fix, if you don't mind dealing with my 2 yr old daughter, my 7 year old son and of course my wife.
I have an extra bedroom.
