Glad you are getting out to see a movie - I may do the same this afternoon. I guess my advice would be build a fire and don't let it go out!

Lately it is like pulling teeth for me to venture out I could easily hibernate in my house until spring arrives but not even a chance.<br />Good tips, my mother calls me every time there is even 1/2" snow in the forecast to remind me of the filling the tub! My tip- be sure you have at least a case of wine:)<br />Enjoy your weekend....The enchanted homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18016560832999165943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-29269574803825160012015-01-30T03:33:57.921-08:002015-01-30T03:33:57.921-08:00How are you holding up??

Also, when you have the amount of snow that you did, make sure flat roofs are shoveled. Stay warm and have a great weekend!! xoxoSandy at You May Be Wanderinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09108555245405638530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-32570240140398646762015-01-29T23:38:28.969-08:002015-01-29T23:38:28.969-08:00Katie - Pull out your special gas-pumping white ta...Katie - Pull out your special gas-pumping white tank top, pop on a North Face polar-fleece quarter-zip over it, warm up your car, and get out of the house to enjoy the winter wonderland that has enveloped/smothered the Boston area.

I can't help but be innocent and think of it as "cozy." I didn't know your power went out. How terrible. Hope all is well soon and you can get back to normal.

Boiling snow on a gas stove also works for the same purpose. And, if the power went out for any length of time we would put our cold foods in a cooler outside and use the snow as "ice".
