Tiramisu Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 and our power almost never goes out. Hello, Sandy! It's back on again, but if it goes out and stays out it's going to get chilly fast. We have candles, food, and water, but heat will be the problem. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisabees Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Yikes. Cuddle up with everyone. We are still hanging on with electricity... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDays Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Locate the extra blankets!! And yes, huddle together. Hope you don't lose it for very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I turned my thermostat up a couple of degrees and put the space heater on--if we lose power (and we will), it will give us an extra couple of hours of warmth. I also found my sweatshirt and will pull out extra blankets. It won't be THAT cold here, but I will notice the change! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoObvious Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Ours is out but we are using the new generator for tv, Internet, and the fridge. No water though since we are on a well and the pump is too far. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakereese Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Ugh. Hang in there. Pull out all of your warm stuff and snuggle together. I hope it isn't off for long, it is goes out again. It's horrible to lose power when it is also cold. I keep hoping the worst is over, but it is still early. :grouphug::grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athena1277 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 We still have power, but it flickered a bit while I was cooking supper. I'm praying hard that it stays on as we don't have a fireplace and I don't want to deal with the cold. I also wasn't able to get ice and I don't want to lose everything in the fridge/freezer. Hope all of you stay warm and safe through the rest of this storm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoObvious Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I hope everyone stays warm, but come on- let's all be glad it isn't summer!!! The power outage from the derecho in July was miserable! At least it's not 100 degrees. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Okay. I'm in MI and our power flickered today three times. Our forecast on weather.com says that the excessive wind means we might lose power tonight. NOT cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmichigan Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I'm in Michigan, ours just came on after an 8 hour outage. I'm extremely grateful and keeping my fingers crossed for tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
