It has been a life saver, we always heat with it anyway, now we are also cooking on it. Power went out Tuesday 5:31 am. Was able to finally get my Ranger out of the drive way this morning. My son called, he thinks the power is back on, (the answering machine at the house is now picking up). We have found after years of backwood life that the answering machine check it a good way to see if you have power back without being there. They are talking more snow Monday! I am considering parking in a "safe" place near the main road and riding my bike from the house, but we still have ice! Hope you get your power back soon. I sing the praise of the “wood stove”!

Still no power. The inside temperature had dropped to 37 degrees. My county and the entire state of Kentucky are still in a state of emergency. I was able to get my car out of the driveway. I'm spending more time at my friend's house. I heard on TV that there are still tens of thousands of households without power. In the grand scheme of things, this nothing but a minor annoyance, but it certainly is messing with my plans, my routines, and my comfort. Take care, and stay warm everyone.

Were staying @ moms but will return sometimes to check on things. Our street is notorious for longterm outage. I'm pessimistic but hopeful ifthat makes any sense. Good luck dave.
