Remember February 25, 2019? For us it was the beginning of eight days of no power, down trees, 16 inches of wet snow, the threat of our roof collapsing and using a flashlight to shop in the local grocery store. It was all the thrills we could stand with just trying to make it through those days using the wood stove for heat, cooking, hot water and drying laundry. We used our camp stove on the back deck under a collapsed canopy for cooking. It took 3 days to plow wet snow off our road to make it to the highway. We had the generator running to keep a couple lights on in the evening and the freezer going during the day. It was hard to get gas when there was no power at the stations to operate the pumps.
Those were the days that we don't care to repeat. We have much sympathy for those suffering from the cold and no power in the southern portion of the country.
How did our ancestors ever survive back in the good old days without all the modern conveniences of today?
Rain in the forecast into next week with no snow predicted at our elevation and hope it stays that way.
