Yesterday we had an extremely terrible wind/blizzard storm which took out our power at 12:40 pm in the afternoon. We thought we could handle it because they said that it would be restored by 5:30pm. Guess what, no power by 5:30pm.......or by 9:00pm.......or by 11:00pm.......or by 2:30 am!! We didn't get power until 5:45 am the NEXT morning!! Needless to say Kevin and I were a little chilly in a house that was only 8 degrees Celsius by the morning!! Kevin hooked up a generator in the evening that gave us enough power for a oil heater to heat the boys room. So they slept warm and cozily! To top it of the temperatures that night dropped to -29 degrees Celsius with a wind chill that took it into the -30's. When our power came back on in the morning Jaren said to me "God sure blessed us by giving us lights!" I have to agree with him!
Some of the snow drifts in our shelter belt from the wind and bit of snow.
There may be enough to get a small ride on a toboggan if the weather stays warmer :)
We hope you all are staying warm and enjoying your lights and heat from your furnace as we are tonight!

That is one of my worst fears being without power with kids for that long. We do thank Jesus for a warm house.
