It was on Christmas eve and we were without power and water for 3 1/2 days. We still had one of our best Christmases ever. We had a kerosene stove for heat so everybody had to stay in the same room. I regret I didn't get better photos but with the ice and trees all around you really can't get around much. You've done a nice job documenting your storm. Plenty of great memories in those photos!
