Body	Second day of the power failure – the only thing working is my cell phone, and I left it in the car, charging.  I wake up and realize it, so I get out of bed to get it.  Mind you, I’m in my underwear and the house is 48 degrees or something.  So I run out to the garage to get my phone in the middle of the night and grab my phone, and run to go back in, and THE DOOR TO THE HOUSE IS LOCKED.  Because of the power failure, our automatic garage doors are unlocked and open, so my daughter, in a paranoid state, locks the door to the garage, which is never locked otherwise, and apparently doesn’t unlock when used.  So I’m outside in a freezing cold garage in my friggin’ underwear, and I’m beating on the door, and of course no one can hear me.  So thank God when I used the cell phone I’m holding in my hand to call Robin, she heard and she came down and let me in.  Or that would have really sucked!  More than that whole ice storm experience sucked.  Which was a lot.

Body	We lost heat on New Year’s Day, rather soon after our dreadful loss of power and heat experience.  Called a plumber who fiddled and diddled and thought he had it fixed.  And it was, until today.  So I called Unitil, who our plumber had suggested because he thought they would have parts in stock on a Sunday or Holiday.  Well, the Unitil guy did the same fiddling, and couldn’t fix it, and sure as hell didn’t have any parts on him.  So it’s so cold I can barely type.  This sucks.  he’s coming back tomorrow to replace a part, and that better work!  We’ve had a lot of trouble with this boiler. Amusing ice storm story – We stayed in a hotel for six days, and with some friends for one day, and here in a cold house for a night.  But on the night we stayed with friends, Robin had to work late, so elected to come home to stay that night rather than wake our friends after midnight.  The hot water worked, as did the stove top, so she figured she could tough it out in a 42 degree house.  Well, she wore seven layers of clothing and every blanket she could find in bed, and still was cold.  Then she made the mistake of taking a shower the next morning!  It’s funny to hear her tell the story, but suffice it to say she wouldn’t take a shower again in a 42 degree Fahrenheit house!

So Thursday evening, December 11th, Robin and I drove to Gomes Package store to buy a bunch of wine for our office party – scheduled for the next evening.  The weather was weird.  The trees were getting icy, but the ground was just wet – not really slippery.  But it apparently was at just the right temperature to coat the branches with ice.  It was 7:30pm, we were dodging down branches on old Rindge Road, so we went back home on John Fitch Highway, and damn near lost a windshield to a tree that had bent down over the travel lane in the dark.

At 3am is when all hell broke loose.  It had been continuing to rain and freeze, and a huge branch came off our tree, grazed our house on the way down, and ripped our power line off the house.  The whole family was awakened.  I walked around the house with a flashlight to see the damage, and all around me I could hear cracking and breaking limbs, and I thought “holy sheet – I’m gonna get killed out here!”  We went back to bed, and couldn’t sleep because of all the tree limbs snapping and cracking all around us.  We were just waiting to hear one hit the house.

The next morning, we awakened and looked outside at vegetative carnage.  Branches and trees everywhere we looked, wires down everywhere – every street blocked.  Fortunately, our cell phones worked fine.  Around 11am I dodged trees and drove over wires to go to City Hall to work.  For the next 8 days I helped at the Emergency Operations Center to input data and make maps for the residents of the shelters and for the DPW crews to target their efforts in removing debris from the streets. Weekdays and weekends – everyday.

We were without power until Monday, December 22nd – a total of 11 days.  We got cable and phone & Internet back Sunday, December 28th.  I lost two DVD players – somehow either the generator or the flash from the outage killed them both stone cold dead.

We got a generator after a week and a day without power (Friday) and Oh My Gawd am I glad I did.  We got it hooked up just as the snow started flying bringing a foot of snow, which was followed by bitterly cold temperatures that would have for sure frozen pipes.  The temperature in our house dropped to 37 degrees as it was.  Our neighbors across the street (with young children!) toughed it out the whole time with a fire place, and their house got down to 33 degrees!  I need to ask them if they lost pipes.

We went and got Megan on Saturday, the day after we got the generator, so she never got to experience a really cold house.  Although I couldn’t get it started one day when it ran out of gas and Megan and I ended up dragging it through the snow and inside the family room so it would warm up (as the house got cold) and the temp in the house dropped to the 50s.  And she sure got to see her snow! She doesn’t get any snow in England.
