I just wanted to give you all an idea of the snow we got from the Frankenstorm. Those are the grills with the snow on top and coming up to the top of them. It is day 8 and still no electric, hopefully in 2-3 more days! At least the sun came out today and I saw blue sky!! #1496877

its so hard to believe you got this much snow this early in the season. if you all are still without electric, did you get to vote today. I was wonderig about all the places that was hit so hard from Sandy, I haven't heard anything. I sure hope you get your electric soon. Do you have a fireplace, I take it you haven't been using your grill for cooking on. I know when we were out of electric for a week that is what I used, was my grill, we have ours hook up to our gas line. #10407760

Looks like a tough situation. But those trees are incredible! #10407811

Whoa! Are u staying warm? I can't imagine being without heat! I hope you get your power back soon-it's been forever for you!

I was going to take a picture of my trash pile in my garage from our flooded basement, but my husband consolidated the stuff before I could get to it... #10408805

Day 10 still no electric, but getting closer. Elaine we are warm and running a generator intermittently throughout the day. It is nice to go to work, because I take a long, hot shower there!! It is getting better. The snow was really pretty and now it is prettier because it is melting, but oh so many broken trees everywhere. #10408964

This looks like the kind of snow we only get in the Mountains. Glad you are still hanging in there in such a difficult situation. Hope they get your power on soon. Are you getting hit again with this new Northeaster? #10409110

Unreal Beth. I know that the names of hurricanes are chosen in alphabetic order from a list but 'Sandy' seems far too gentle a name for something like this. "satan' might be more apposite judging by the deaths and destruction.
I am sitting here looking out over the yard and fields that have just the thinnest coating of frost and I feel for you. May the snow quickly clear Beth. #10409498

That's crazy how much snow you got! And 10 days without electric is awful...that's how long I went without it last year during that Oct storm but we were fortunate that my sister didn't lose power and we shacked up with her for the duration....I feel for you but you seem to be in good spirits and hoping as I write this that your power has already been restored.. #10409769

Beth -- wow, what a wallop this storm has had throughout the entire country. These past ten days must have felt like forever. Glad you can get clean and warm at work. We have been thinking about you a lot and hope that soon you will be on your way to getting the lights on. #10410600

Beth Spencer November 09, 2012

Thanks! Day 12 still no electric but they say today byodnight! They are making some progress, the numbers without are getting lower! I know one family they told Thanksgiving if they are lucky. At least temps are suppose to get into the 60's. #10411015

I know I commented on this one on FB. Wow that's alot of snow! I can't imagine what it would be like to live without electric for that long. We have a genorator, but it can't run the whole house all the time so we'd have to keep switching between things. I sure hope you get your power back tonight so you can get back to normal! :~) #10411771
