And Snow It Did....

 

 

 

 

24 inches plus over Friday night, howling wind and electricity lost.

 

 

 

 

The wind raged down from the north, the snow drifting high and even sicking to the doorknob.

 

 

 

 

We woke up Saturday morning wondering how we were ever going to get the Prius out of the garage and down the long driveway.  Then a merry band of good, good neighbors magically appeared to shovel us out.  And we were thinking that Barrington was such an unfriendly place!  

 

 

 

But how to get through 36 hours without heat and plummeting temperatures?

A fire in the wood stove with almost the last of our punky wood

 

 

 

and snuggling down for the night on the old futon mattress with Tulip smack in the middle.  It was so cozy we slept there again last night even though the heat had come back on.
