We got a small amount of snow the first week of November. Just enought to say it was winter. Then overnight on November 14 we got over a foot of wet heavy snow with some mixed rain & snow during the day on the 15th. Last night due to the snow accumulation on power lines we had a power outage that affected over 1200 homes and businesses in the area. The power was out from just before midnight to 8:30 this morning. Our old house does not have an alternate source of heat other than to pile on the quilts. Thank heavens we have a number of quilts!

The power coming on woke me and I was toasty warm, but the house was very very cold for a while.
