When the sun finally came out it took 2 days to thaw everything out and find all the leaks. Don't you just !!xxzzz love winter.
Our area got hit bad last winter. No power for 5 days, 4 nights. We have a well, the pump runs off electric, so no water either. Once the roads cleared, we went into DH's office, at the Forest Serv., & I even showered there one day. Took our dogs in there with us too. It was terrible, so I feel for what you have had to go through. Glad this winter has been kinder to our area, so far. Power company also did alot of equipment upgrades too, so power outages should be less & shorter now, if they happen at all, & so far, that has been the case...
