In the dark.

The giant N’Or Easter predicted to slam the Maine coast came and went yesterday with admittedly high winds…. but not nearly the amount of snow they were promising.

The weathermen said a foot, we got roughly 4 inches. But it was the heavy wet crap that weighs down tree branches which then take out power lines. And at 9:00 last night?

Poof.

We woke up to darkness and no electricity today.

Thank goodness for a fireplace. It doesn’t heat the whole house but kept the living room a toasty 63.

And thank goodness for powerful battery operated lanterns that light up the kitchen so His Royal Highness can be fed.

Turns out the problem was right next door where a tree fell on the main line that feeds the whole road. The power company was out early …

As was the husband… who won’t use the snowblower when it’s heavy and wet because it clogs the auger. It was still snowing when I took the picture so his newly cleared driveway was filling back up behind him. Why didn’t he wait till it stopped?

Because we had no power, which means no satellite, which means no television. He was bored.

Thankfully the power came back on late morning and nothing in the freezer or fridge was lost. The temperature is supposed to be 48 tomorrow so it will all melt again.

I swear I have winter whiplash this season.

The culprit. The wind lifted it right out of the ground…

  3. I’ll take 14″ of light fluffy snow over 4″ of wet snow anytime. When I lived in New Brunswick in the early years of the new century shovelling snow became a full workout, not just a walk through the park.

  6. We haven’t had much snow, but then again it starts snowing here and by non its 74 degrees 🙄. We get power outages because of high winds and since I live at the base of the mountain, those winds always take out power poles. I hope you all stayed as warm as you could and his Lordship was able to have his dinner by candlelight, lol.
