A Winter Weekend II

Pete & Beth also lost power--and heat--for a longer time. They finally got it back Monday afternoon. Meanwhile they stayed with Beth's folks, who are also nearby and who never lost power. Though much of Massachusetts was affected, Boston escaped trouble, so Mark & Steve never had a problem. It was interesting, walking around our neighborhood and seeing all the snapped power poles and tree limbs leaning on power lines (and in some cases having fallen onto houses). It was a major inconvenience but, happily, with only a few exceptions, very little loss of life or injury. And some of the sights of ice coating every branch and twig were breathtakingly beautiful.
