We live off the grid, so thankfully don't have to be concerned with winter snows making the power go out.

I am set up like you except for the generator. We got 9 inches but kept our power. I so feel for those who are in the dark and cold with no heat. I have found from years of living in Florida with no power after hurricanes that the power companies toss a date out there well beyond what they really expect so everyone will be delighted when the power comes on earlier than projected. Works every time. <br />Hope this will all be just a memory soon.

They were telling me how great Arkansas is compared to Pennsylvania because the winter is not as brutal there. They said snow doesn't come often. I have to call them now. LOL They went from 80 degree Miami weather to snow and possibly no electricity now. They live out in the woods too. At least your house is not all electric. ;) <br /><br />BTW, the snow picture is beautiful!<br /><br />JenJennifer M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07321236895970913325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-7217630604785419372012-12-28T21:36:00.358-06:002012-12-28T21:36:00.358-06:00Hope your power is restored.

It will be a while before they have all the power back on.<br />We too have gas appliances and a small propane heater.
