Here are a few photos I took late this afternoon, just after getting home from work. Amazing how beautiful something so potentially dangerous can be. This preaches, doesn't it?
We got our electricity back again at around midnight. It was nice to have the lights and the other conveniences... but a little sad to have that golden moment end... Back to modernity...
We've been without electricity, due to ice storm, since about 10:15 p.m. We've got a fire going in the fireplace and plenty of water stored in plastic containers. Cozy.
