We spent most of the last 24 hours snuggled up downstairs...so thankful we had a propane stove installed a few years ago! It does not require electricity to operate...and it kept us toasty warm...
We were even able to heat a small Paderno pot of water...for tea and hot cocoa! We made sandwiches and munched on snacks...and Liesel was very warm and content with her dog bed in front of the warm fire.
Last evening, a warming station was opened up down the road from us...so my friend and I packed up our lap tops and cell phones and went in to use the charging stations. And today...I am going to find a battery operated radio to have on hand for the "next" big storm! And replenish our candles supply!
Thankfully, we didn't get the amount of snow forecast...but I suspect a combination of extremely high winds and wet slush brought down many transformers and power lines.
This photo was taken just down the road from our house...power poles snapped like twigs...
And downed transformer right in the heart of the city....
There are still thousands here without power still! Crews from New Brunswick and Ontario are on their way to assist with repairs and clean up!
This is Ma Nature sending us a little reminder just who is in charge!! It was a wild ride folks!!
