Finally beginning to warm up after being without electric from 5:30am til 3:00pm yesterday. As I sat here huddled up in my blankey, I contemplated on what life was like before electricity....
OMG Toto! Kansas did get hit hard. Back in the day I think folks used wood to heat their houses. Oil lamps for lighting.
How was the snow in your area?
About 12 years ago we had a viciously cold early winter in Syracuse, right around Christmas and the week after. Multiple days around zero, significant wind chill. Three times I ran out of LPG for my heater (turns out the regular drive threw out his back, and the company messed up on the auto refill program while back-filling for him).
It wasn't until the third time that I actually remembered that I did have a wood stove in the great room, that generated marvelous amounts of heat when I set it properly, and that I still had left connected half of the baseboard electric heaters when I bought the place ...

Haha Mark, that sounds like something I would do!
Lots of rain here and a flooded basement. Glad I fixed that sewer cap yesterday because we are having to open it every hour to muck the water out of the basement.
Sdh, I use the free skype...when I remember to turn it on. It's how I talk to Mike a lot...I just use a head set and no camera.

"Back in the day"....LOL....We use an outdoor wood heating unit. Thing is it takes electricity to run the fans to circulate the heat and not burn down the place. Then we have a fireplace, but when DH put in the wood heating unit he ducted it into the flu for the fireplace that was ducted into the house ducts...go figure...lol So can't use the fireplace to burn wood in... We did bring in the oil lamp, but candles made more light than the lamp. LOL...I sat here trying to figure out how they sewed etc by these oil lamps....
A few years back we had a severe ice storm. We were without electricity for over a week. What I remember the most about that now, is that I couldn't blow dry my hair or use a curling iron before I went to work. LOL
You know I was just playing. We had a wood stove when we lived in Pleasant Hope, Missouri. It was in the living room. Dh had back up electric baseboard heat
My MIL is scared to death of fire, the fireplace in this house has never been used. I had a scented candle lit in my room one night and she freaked out about it. In the summer, she cracks open the attic door because she is afraid it's so hot that something will spontaneously combust....nope you can't make this stuff up!
