We're in the middle of quite an ice storm up here. Our power is out, but it sounds as though a third of the power is out in all of NH. The schools are closed, and they are asking people to stay put. Not so much because of the roads, but because falling branches have blocked off many streets, and people then turn around to find the way they just came has become blocked with large tree branches, and they become trapped.
So we're stuck at home. Thanks goodness the LAST time this happened we were motivated to purchase a generator. We have electricity to the furnace, the well pump, the fridge, and to the living room. We can run the radio, and even watch TV. Steve even managed to hook up the wireless.

You are like pioneers in a little cabin in the wilderness! Next we will hear about the boys hunting for food & skinning for clothes. They will have wild animals for pets -- the ones they haven't eaten!
PS It looks so beautiful! I remember similar ice storms in NJ when I was a teenager. I always loved the look of the tree limbs wreathed in ice -- so astounding!
Oh Fleen! Keep warm and keep your spirits up. And I know it must be hard to appreciate the beauty of the ice-capped wilderness around you, but it really looks spectacular. Love you!!!
So beautiful
I hate New York.
I wish I were there to do your laundry for you Little House on the Prairee style... with a washtub and scrubboard.
love,
