Im up here in NH - We're currently on day 3 of no power due to our ice storm thursday night. There are 200,000 homes/buildings without power still in our state alone. They are saying some people could be out for up to 2 weeks! Nasty nasty situation up here...Worst Ice storm there's ever been up here...Unprecedented as far as the power company is concerned. In 1998 our house lost power for 6 days...at that point/ice storm only 55,000 people lost power. So we're not exactly looking for the power back anytime soon.

We were able to get a generator about an hour away today. Theres nothing near us, thats for sure. There's a waiting list at our home depot for 1500 generators today. We went near Boston and got one...so we now have hot water, some lights, heat...and, because that room has power, my laptop gets to the internet:)

It's like nothing anyone's ever seen though...trees down across roads, power lines down just hanging everywhere that snapped or whatever from the ice. This is our pennance for being relatively earthquake and hurricane free, I guess!

I'm a proper Bostonian in exile in North Idaho.  My dad still lives in Worcester County.  I called him and he said that while the rest of the county, and much of the state are without power, he only got rain.  My thoughts and prayers are with those who are still without power.

Here in North Idaho, we're having cold temperatures.  It's currently 1 degree outside, with the love temp expected to go down to -5 tonight.

The LOVE temp?  Does that mean that there will be a lot of births 9 months from today?
