Snow + no power = cold

The weather forecast was for snow during the evening and overnight.  The forecast was correct as it started snowing around 8 p.m.  During the night, the power went off a couple of times and then stayed off around 2:30 a.m.  John was just getting ready to start up the generator when the power came on around 7 a.m. - yahoo! Trying to be good neighbors, we didn't want to start up the generator before 7 a.m. unlike our neighbor in a motor home who started their generator up around 3:30 a.m.  Outside temperature was 31.5* when we got up while the inside temperature was 44*.  The furnace was set to come on at 55* but with no power, we turned it off so that it wouldn't drain our batteries during the night.  The heat from the furnace was much appreciated this morning.

This is what we woke up to:




Took this shot of John's flip flops that he leaves outside.  Not surprising, he wasn't interested in putting them on LOL.


This storm was a bit unusual/early but weather will be back to normal within a few days.   The sun is now shining,  the wind has come up, and it is currently 33* at 9 a.m.  Who knows, we may get more snow later today.  As we have no place we have to be, we will just sit back and enjoy whatever mother nature throws at us.
