Five days without power.  It all started on Saturday, Oct 29th.

                                         This…                                           turned into this…

                                       and this…              into a total of 14 inches of snow

It was  a dark and stormy night

and then came the morning, all sunny and sparkly…

Thanks to Deb’s foresight in buying

                       a percolator                              and manual coffee grinder we had..

Two days later, on Tuesday Nov 1st I took my first walk around the neighborhood.  A  lot of trees had already been cleared but it looks like not one tree was spared at least some kind of damage.

Five days was a challenge but at least we had a gas fireplace… a gas oven/range so we could cook on the top of the stove…and a gas hot water heater.

It’s amazing how much we take electricity for granted, and how many things in our daily lives don’t work without it.  I hope the thousands of people in the northeast STILL without power get it back as soon as possible.

Power to the people :)

Everywhere you look parts of New Jersey are covered not only with snow but with ice.

Today is Tuesday, January 18th, the middle of the month, the heart of the winter and it is, in a word… yucky. Some snow/sleet/freezing rain/rain and gloom.
