Power outage; ice storm! :)

[farouk]

Okay so we just got the power back after an ice storm. The outage lasted from Saturday night/Sunday morning until this evening, Christmas Eve, in this part of Canada; the US from Michigan to Maine was also affected by power outages.

We had lots of (cold) adventures.

Now we can concentrate on Christmas again, as we remember the wondrous birth of the Saviour.

Blessings.

A lot of the outages locally were also because of falling trees.

We only just got connected again; we have been 15C below.

Up here the power lines seem to be above ground. There is an awful lot of Canada, for all the lines to be put underground, I guess...
