Snow Days

 Overnight Sunday into Monday we got a ton of snow and the temperature dropped.  At 12:30am we lost power and didn't get it back until 8pm.

When Morry got up around 7:30am the outside temperature was 7 degrees and we had almost 7 inches of snow on the ground.

It got so cold in the house we would see our breath.

The high temperature outside for Monday was 23 degrees.

We took a walk to Grandma and Papa’s house and had a driveway visit.

Then we tried to stay warm with lots of hot tea, cider, and hot chocolate.

In the evening, we made a fire in the fireplace and ate dinner by candlelight.

Over the last few days, we have continued to have snow and ice. Several times we have had to take a hairdryer to our outside faucets to unfreeze them.

Starting last night we no longer have running water. Not a drop.

When we started noticing the water pressure drop, we filled up as many jars, bottles, pots, tubs as we could.

Now we are gathering snow to use for toilet water. The city says it could be days before we get our water back.

Here are some pictures over the last few days.
