Our second winter storm in a week. Power was out for about 3 hours and came on just after we finished dinner. Between the barbecue and our butane stove we can cook anything. Not fancy but definitely delicious - see Tessa's smile. Candlelight is rather nice and we do have lots of battery lights. We expect 3cm of the wet stuff tonight. For those that prefer to eat out, Suzie's restaurant has a generator and I counted 20 cars as I drove by in the dark at 5pm. Imagine driving in a city with no street lights, well we have no street lights and its really dark on the road, we drive mainly with full beam lights, dipping only when the occasional car comes the other way. Two nights ago a dinner guest couldn't find our driveway in the dark and in spite of calling for directions never in fact made it.
