Power went out this morning

JayinNY · Dec 8, 2011

Woke up at 3:00 this morning with power out. We had a little snow but nothing serious! Got up at 6 started the generator made breakfast on the wood stove and still waiting for power to come back on. In august it was out for 37 hours during Irene. Makes u stop and think about the days with no power at all! Lol

But you still have the finer things in life, a wood stove with dry wood on hand, a tractor that starts, what more could you ask for ? LOL !

Another tractor. You can never have enough tractors.

Ours was off for an hour a week or so ago. Found out that a power company truck backed in to some equipment at a substation.

I'd like to say no, but there is about 5"-6" of heavy wet packing snow, the large wet flake kind, weighing things down a bit, still snowing lightly too, walk behind blower handled it, LPG tractor started right up, but that darned vaporizer does not like the cold as of the last 2 years or so, it starts to sputter once warmed up, LP freezing up at vaporizer, have not got around to seeing why, so its time for it to reside in the heated garage and a blanket over the hood !

Last winter we had an ice storm come through, power was out for 5 days. We hauled water up from the stream for the animals. We keep water in the house, in milk jugs for for emergencies like this. Furnace is dou-fuel so heated with wood no difference there, oil is too expensive and blown down trees are easy to get. We have a 2200 watt generator which ran the fridge and occasionally a microwave oven. Lights were oil lamps. Grilled out almost every meal. Beautiful thing was no TV, no computer, no radio, no distractions, and plenty of family time. The kids decided we should turn the power off ourselves for a week this winter. Amazing how a little ice can bring a family closer together.
