I shiver thinking of the consequences of -14 Degrees and an ice laden tree taking the power lines down.

When the power goes out in Florida we get really hot. Power goes out at -14 degrees and a world of real life imperiling trouble lies ahead.

I guess that is why fireplaces are prominent in New England.

Stay safe and warm.
