42 hours and counting...

We're figuring that everything in our refrigerator is gone. We're hoping that tonight's lows (supposed to be in the teens) don't freeze the few pipes of water that we have. The gas fireplace that we have warmed us up to 56 today. We've since left and are warm over at my folks. The cat is still there, but he's got lots of fur. The electric company says that there are still over 300,000 customers without power. They haven't touched the trees on the lines or the broken telephone pole by our house...I guess they're not priorities. And, as we were driving home last night, we saw that houses that are less than a mile from our house have power. What I would give for a hot shower...
