Ray P Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 18 hours of no power and 20 degs. from an ice storm. Had to move all the fids to one room with the wood burner and cover all the doors with blankets to keep the heat in but we made it.
Luvparrots Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Ouch Ray P, so glad to hear that everyone is okay!!! Get toasty quickly, we miss you around here!!!!
judygram Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Been there and done that Ray but our wood stove will heat the whole house so the fids do not suffer plus we can cook on top of it so we can have hot meals, glad to hear you all made it thru a tough time and everyone is fine.
BirdsAreGrey8 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Wow that's crazy! Gotta love Florida.. The most snow I've ever seen was on a business trip to Nashville last month; 6-7", no big deal.
chezron Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 brrr! Glad to hear everyone got through it!
Mama CJ Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 We had a lot of ice on Monday too, no school on Tuesday for the kids. Sounds like we might be getting some more nasty weather tonight. I'm in Ohio too, between Marysville, Urbana and Bellefontaine area. Glad you got thru it. Wood burners are a life saver here in Ohio.....
katana600 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Wow, you have been resourceful, but it had to be a huge worry on top of being pretty darn cold.
Mama CJ Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Here we go again. I can hear ice hitting the sky lights.
Jingles Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 ick! We did 11 days with no power during a huge ice storm... i swear, we were the last street to be turned on... and when they did turn us on, we had only part power for 2 days. So, I hear ya! Thankfully, we didn't have the bird at the time and we only had the 2 dogs/cat... of course, i'm late on this and am hoping your power is back on
Guest Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, I remember those northeastern Ohio winters many years ago! February was always the most bitter cold! I am late on this - haven't been on the site very much lately because was sick and had to work and just didn't have any leftover energy. Glad you all are okay!
kittykittykitty Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 I'm even later. I worried a lot about what would happen to Precious if we lost power because I had no fireplace or wood stove. I bought a hot water bottle hoping I could put her in her traveling cage with that if I needed to. I had a gas stove and a gas water heater so I hoped I could have hot water. Winter is not wanting to say good-by here in "sunny" Southern California. Our local mountains are supposed to get one to three feet of snow tonight. I am very glad all of you and all the fids and other "babies" got through the bitter cold. Every time I saw a weather report I wondered how all of you were.
