Snow week

Our last week has been an interesting adventure. Odin had snow days on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.  The weather here was pretty wild. We had snow, more snow (the total was 11"), then freezing rain, then just rain. The freezing rain made us loose power on Thursday. It finally came back on tonight. A full week later.  John went to work as usual just had more fun on the commute! Most main roads were plowed on Wednesday morning, residential roads were another story.   On Friday his office finally lost power and closed around lunch time.


We made the best of it. After not having power for 24 hours I wanted a change of pace, and since it was snowing. . .  We packed up the RV on Friday and went skiing. The snow was fantastic, family powder day x2! We came home hopeful for power. Driving to our street we noticed many other people with lights on, but not ours. . .  Each day we were more and more hopeful.

Finally today a neighbor went down to the local power company office and talked to a person. He gave me her number, so I called too. So did two other neighbors. Ta-da! Power was on just before dinner time tonight.
