VIEW FROM MY SEWING ROOM after the storm
#11
I so feel for you. We were fortunate to only be without power for 5 hours. But we also have a gas fireplace and range so we had no hardship.
I had an email from Germany from some friends who wanted to know if it was as bad as the new reports said, So I showed them. There are still parts of Wellington county without power.
The temp has risen and the ice is falling from my trees. Your birch has a great chance of recovering as it looks to be very young and therefore flexible. It may be bend a bit.
If you have the energy, I'd add some support after the ice has gone so the next storm doesn't bend it all out of shape.
Remind your self why we live in this "God Forsaken Country". Ha

we had our ice storm come through the first week of December....We live in rural Arkansas and while the town nearest us lost their power for a couple days we never did lose ours...we were prepared as we have a wood stove that we use all winter for heat and can certainly cook on it, as well as a LP gas cook stove..we were even able to have a couple stay with us a couple days that lost their power and had no backup...it was beautiful but we are still cleaning up the mess from all the broken limbs and trees...oh well good for the woodstove!

The longest we were without power was 4 days during an ice storm
Our neighbor had a wood stove to cook on and made a huge pot of chili...
in the low light she put cinnamon in instead of chili power. We were happy to get Anything warm, but have teased her ever since.
Really makes you appreciate how good we have it! Do you have a treadle or hand crank? Wonder for these type of inforced hermithood

it was an experience for sure...finally on the third day (Christmas Eve) my son called me..I was at my sisters cooking dinner...to tell me we got our power back...my brother went another two days without power...
It is paralyzing without power...we sure take it for granted..hope we don't see that again for a LONG time...
oh, and no treadle or hand crank...makes me want to go out and get one...

My longest indoor camping excursion was 9 days. Huge Oak tree hung over my house and DH and I stood out in the yard waiting and watching for it to break through our roof. It was during the 2011 Halloween snow storm. We were lucky that day, it didn't happen.
Hope everyone is soon back on the grid and thank you to all the people who do the very dangerous work of making it happen.
peace

That picture looks like it could have been taken from my window. Fortunately, we live in a senior park and our electricity was restored after 6 hours. It is truly devastating for so many who are till without power after a whole week of this. And how sad it is to look outside and see the beauty in it. Especially when the sun shines on the ice making it look like glass. I do feel bad for you who are still living without , just know it's... c o m i n g....!
