...at least for a little while. Overnight, in fact. We lost electricity with the big blow last night around seven. We were in the dark and the cold throughout the night. Went to bed way early. Woke to 12 degrees but no wind and still no electricity. Off to The Cabin for coffee and breakfast and when we returned: sun was up, electricity was back.
Eric had a scare: he, Colleen and the boys all found a bed to crawl under with the howling of the winds sounding both ominous and threatening. When they finally came out from their hiding place, trees were down all around him but nothing on the house or the outbuildings. He called us shortly to let us know they were all okay - told him neither of us had been afraid for them but were now trembling, a little anyway...
Gotta go catch up on the news. Peeked at it before coming here: Clinton and McCain win in Florida; Edwards to drop out. My oh my...
p.s. was enjoying golf in balmy 55 degree weather at the golf course at 4 yesterday afternoon. Went to bed at 21 degrees. Woke up to 12 degrees. Interesting.
