We are tough in Michigan, but tonight is 9 times already since Thanksgiving I've had to drive the 32 miles from work up North along the Lake Huron in ice and snow but nothing nearly as bad as what you are facing, Shorty. Stay safe ~ keeping warm is the hardest without power. It's gonna be a long Winter (and it's not even officially here yet).

wow! thanx everyone for the warm wishes (and soup) We are still with out power...today is the 6th day! UGH! shitty part is I'm hosting a big family christmas party on sunday...ha! I"m supposed to be cooking 2 huge pans of lasagna...on what? my woodstove? maybe...hmm, maybe the gas grill. ugh!
AND as Paintedlady said...we are expecting a nor'easter (that's a big snow storm) on friday...6 to 10 inches of snow! NOOOOO! I fuckin' hate winter and it doesn't even start until sunday. this sux!

Ace said:

yes! thank god I atleast have my sat radio in my car!

Shorty said:

Wow! I hope the forecasters are wrong about the 6-10 inches. Sorry to hear that you are still without power.
I hope you are finding ways to stay warm.
Take care!

Shorty said:

thanks for noticing the soup comment...



seriously, that sucks about having to host a party in a situation like this...






im thinking, deli sandwiches and salads??? surely they will understand and quite frankly a pastromi with swiss and spicy mustard on an onion roll heated in the microwave (i hope your power is back by then) and a good pickle on the side with some potato salad is a GREAT thing

good luck!

Thank god you have a wood stove and generator! We cannot find my Aunt...have no idea where she is staying or what's going on. Luckily I'm 2 hours south of where you are but we are getting snow this Friday.

Stay safe and warm!

oh dear!!

i hope everything turns out ok with your aunt, keep us posted!


stay warm sweetie...

nakedpianoplayer said:

ofcourse I did!
I was originally going to do deli sandwiches...then I came up with this lasagna idea (b4 we lost power) because it would be cheaper and I could have my 3 sister-in-laws bring the salad, bread and dessert. But now you just made me want a pastromi and swiss sandwich for lunch!
I think it will be ok. We might be able to get our stove working after all.
I'm supposed to be doing all my christmas baking this week too! Grrr!
God I hope the power comes on today...the 7th day with out it!

CarrieLee said:

oh my! what town is she from?

and on the 8th day power was restored. Thank the lord above! Just in time for 10 inches of snow! ugh! and winter doesn't start untill sunday.

Shorty said:

Thank goodness for that! Howard was great this week.

Glad you're doing okay after the storm!

We're getting the 10" of snow now ~ it's miserable but at least we still have power. It's drifting my doors shut. I hate this.

ugh! we got about 10 inches of snow on friday and we just got dumped another 12 inches last night! OK winter..you can go away now.

Shorty said:

We got 10 inches on Friday then another 3 yesterday before it turned to rain. It's very icy out there.

You guys need a break but uhhh, you DO live in New Hampshire!!!!!

CarrieLee said:

I know...I saw one of the power trucks from baltimore and written in the dirt on the back of the truck was "storm Hampshire" it's like I blinked and we are back to last years winter. I want to move to virginia!

Id rather have snow then ice, at least I can shovel my way out instead of having to wait for it to thaw.Im sick of these ice blasts we are having.
