Friday, a big ice storm knocked down power lines all over the area, and word is some areas won't get power back for another week. Hopefully not us. Today is the third day we've been without power, and living in my house is starting to feel like living in Badger or Quartz cabins. The perishable food is sitting in a cooler on the deck so it won't spoil, and candles and headlamps have been dug out of the closets. It's funny how not having power isn't a big deal when in a cabin where its expected, but can really mess things up elsewhere. Besides the food in danger of spoiling in the fridge, the tropical fish in our fishtank are in danger of dying from cold, and the tank is now wrapped in foam and duct tape in an attempt to keep them warm.
It's just like badger cabin! Except that the food in the cooler actually stays cold...
I see why most early settlements were near lakes and rivers... we can't pump water from the well anymore and are melting ice on the woodstove to get water.
