We've been out since last Saturday night here and they are forecasting us to be on next Sunday! Sure hope it will be sooner. Turns out Connecticut Light and Power didn't pay the crews that helped out after Irene this summer and help was slow in coming. We were out 3 days before we saw the first crews around here! Quad is keeping us warm fairly warm, but without the blower an insert is only a shadow of itself! Our neighbors without stove have all long gone to hotels and friends and family's houses.
No power = glad I have a wood stove

Yeah.... 94...
I was in Korea, she was home alone.. luckily we lived in town, close to lots of friends.. never lost power, but roads were snowed under for 5 days,store shelves empty.. they had 20 inches and it stayed for a while, but no ice and power the whole time. We had two Mustangs and a very steep drive at the time. So she was a walkin' in the snow for the whole time. We have not been without 4/all wheel drive since. And the ability to keep the house warm, cook, etc in case of power outages..

Scott, you no doubt now understand why my wife uses the Fireview for much of the cooking during the winter months. If the power goes out here, we don't get too concerned even if the temperature outside is zero. We'll eat hot meals for sure and have hot water too.
Guess I have been too busy gathering,splitting wood and back to work,interesting reading everyones posts.
We were lucky power back late Tuesday and all is back to normal.Hope it is not a harbinger for the winter.Hope the ones still without get power back soon.
Safe burning to all.
