Surviving the ice storm of 2008

As you may know, an ice storm hit much of New England the evening of December 11, 2008 and went through the early hours of December 12, 2008.  The storm knocked out power to many states, apparently hitting us in New Hampshire the worst.  The electric company in New Hampshire reported over 350,000 people without power, and that’s just in our state!  School was canceled for me Friday so that morning after the storm I went out to take photos of the frost and icicles left over.  Our power was out until late Saturday night.  Charlotte and I had no power or water, since our water uses an electric pump.  We slept in front of our gas fireplace, which went out late Friday night.  I’m guessing the wind outside entered the chimney and blew out the pilot light. Who knows.
