We got a good day of icing yesterday here in central North Carolina then a dose of snow today. Our power went out yesterday for several hours which was fine until it started getting pretty darn cold in the house. As soon as we bundled in layers and got comfy to chill on the couch the power came back on. My husband ran the heat higher than normal in case we lost it again at some point. There were a lot of people without it. 

 

Some of my friends have had it off and on. 

 

I was thankful for our rain barrel so we had water to fill buckets so we could flush the toilet. Yellow is mellow but brown goes down. Also have oil lamps for light and camp stove to reheat chili I had cooked the night before in the crockpot. Everyone was going nuts with bread and milk and we were feasting on chili and homemade cornbread with beef jerky and protein bars for snacks. Oh, and rum and eggnog.  :thumbsup:
