Reminds me of the ice storm of December 2008 - lost power for 9 days and a huge amount of damage to trees on the property. Luckily, we also faired well with no major damage - good luck with the clean-up - can seem daunting at times! Cheers!

SW corner of the state here. I should of got pictures before the clean up, but maybe take some tomorrow....still a freakin' mess here, just a little more organized now that everybody has more or less pulled things to the side. Still 25% of our town without power, including my nieghbor who has had a generator running since Monday...24/7....branches still hanging on power lines, and lines still on the ground...that was one bad *ss storm

We had our October Surprise 5 yrs ago in Western New York. It was just as bad. Right up there with the blizzard of '77. 5 days without power for myself. Glad I have a wood stove now.

Actually, I think it mostly belongs in the Perfect Picture forum, which is where I'm just about to relocate it. Great pics, glad you weathered the storm in style. Rick

it was pretty frekon good. we also did some steak on a fire outside which i did twice this week. that was awesome. heres my brother in law cooking on the fire then me later this week. my grill ran out of gas so we had to improvise. lol. and i def wasnt going to get gas for the grill. people were going crazy here. you had to wait over an hour in some spots jsut to fuel the car. it was crazy lines 150 cars deep. never seen anything like it.

Great pics! Looks like you weathered the storm very well with your stove and outdoor wood grill! Like you I hate to lose power because I lose all water as well and that really sucks..

I remember when we owned a home with a Well, the Wife took a while to catch onto why we had no water. No lights, no stove, no water, might as well live in a box....but we survived

Nice pics ecocavalier02. Thanks for sharing. Nice stove. Sweet truck. Is that a 250. Looks like that set up will haul a lot of wood for ya.

 

[Flatbedford]

What a mess! Not as bad over the state line here in Westchester County, NY. Things seem to be in pretty good shape now. Lots of wood on the ground for sure!

Here's a few from my SW corner of Connecticut....these were taken today, 1 week after... getting cleaned up....at least the roads are open....still 18% without electric
