Just got back to normal! Life has been pretty interesting since Wednesday. We got socked with 12"+ snow and 40 mph winds, with gusts of 60 mph. We lost power wednesday night and didnt get it back until yesterday. Took me two days to dig out, got the tractor stuck once.
The woodstove saved the day. We cooked on it nonstop, melted snow to use in the toilets. I have a brand new 8000 watt honda generator, but they dont work well without gas. I had to ration my gas to use in the tractor to dig myself out! That was quite the job, 8-10 foot drifts blew across our driveway, which is about 1 mile long.
I learned a lot the last four days. I really appreciate living in a house built in the early 1900s that was originally builty to be heated with a woodstove!! Funny how that works sometimes.
