Ice Storm Update

It is Wednesday, December 17, 2008. The power has been restored to many of us, but there are thousands more sitting in the dark tonight with wood stoves heating or generators running,  candlelight illuminating the darkness, and foodstuff stacked outside. To add to the distress of those still without power, and to the difficulties for the repair crews, the winter skies produced SNOW today-with a foot forecast for Friday!
Here are a few pictures of the last week. Thanks to all for your kind thoughts.
