Baby it's cold outside...

Well, we got welcomed to Winter 2008 with a bang. We live in Southern New Hampshire and got run over by the largest ice storm I've seen since living in upstate New York in the early 90's. We lost power, phone and internet on Thursday night. The power company is working overtime, but until they reconnect us we'll be sitting by the wood stove. Thankfully we have a small generator and a gas stove, so while we may not be taking hot showers right now, we can eat hot meals and watch TV (thank you very much Dish Network!!)

Our property took a hit, but the house itself wasn't damaged so we've really lucked out. In our area we've seen homes which have a tree literally splitting them in half. Hopefully most of the canopy of ice will melt today which should help a lot with the cleanup. I'll be trying to check email via Dade's blackberry as often as I can, but if you don't hear from me for a couple of days, please know that I'll get in touch as soon as possible. Here are a few photos from our yard:
