We are rural and areas with more houses get the first response when there are power outages. 6 years ago we had an ice storm in Jan. and were without power for 5 days. And in 91 or 92 we had an ice storm and were without for a week. It is not fun. I have suggested at times that we should get a generator but my DH just points out that we only rarely need it. Easy for him to say...he will be going to Orlando later this week on business and I will be here at home to 'handle' things. I am praying the storm goes a tad bit further south and we get only snow. Luckily, we no longer have livestock to worry about. It is just our DD (age 23), our dog, and me. No little kids at home like it was several years ago. Thank goodness for lots of quilts!
