Hello All,
We lost power, phone & cable at 5 AM Friday and got it back at 11 AM Sunday. Our furnace's thermostat is powered by a self-contained millivolt system that works off the pilot light, and we have steam heat, so no need for power to circulate or deliver the heat. Bottom line...we had heat all through. Sandy & I cooked on the gas grill, put food outside to keep it cold, and played Scrabble by candlelight. We went to a movie theater that had power, and when a power surge temporarily shut the projector down we got a bunch of free movie passes! (We saw "Australia". The scenery is fabulous--the story is OK, if you like C.B. DeMille-style sagas.) Yesterday I got my chain saw out & cut the large tree limb that fell onto our street, into firewood.
All in an upstate winter weekend, I guess. Tomorrow, we put the tree up and trim it, so a measure of normalcy is returning.
Happy Holidays, everyone!!
Harry

Glad to hear everything turned out ok, Harry. What a pain in the butt. You guys were super lucky that you were able to have heat the whole weekend. Ugh...I hate winter! :)
