power outage

for three and a half days, the house and most of the area has lost all power. steve drove up on a blizzarding thursday night to check out the house, and light a fire to keep everything warm. we ended up getting well over one foot of snow at gobble hill. it varied from area to area. some got 40 inches, and other places like kingston (only twenty minutes away) got practically nothing. i took a bus up the next night and fortunately the power was restored soon after. we barely drove anywhere since the snow kept falling through sunday morning. we left our car at the bottom of the drive since we could'nt get up the drive, and the plow came once early on, but not again. so...we cooked, we finished the puzzle, we shoveled, we napped, we watched tv, we shoveled some more, and we mourned a few tree branches that broke off. we also drained the pipes at a neighbors house who couldn't make it up that weekend.
