Snowmeggadon

So, the power went out at 5 a.m (which are the dark ones--my porch light stayed on, which I thought was weird--the first and third one you can see how much snow we are getting). I raced down the stairs and shut off the water. It said it was 69 in here. Remember, I had been keeping it at 73. I turned the water full blast on the sinks and drained the water out, and flushed the toilet. Good. Back to bed.

The system let me know that power came back on at 5:44, and it was back online. Thank you Ohio Edison! I have not turned the water back on again. Remember, I have Culligan water, so I always have a supply of water.

I haven't used toilet paper in YEARS, I use wipes and throw them in the trash can. When Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Youngstown came out to fix that issue, thanks to the electricians, they advised Sam Beach that you shouldn't be flushing anything (that isn't natural) down the toilet. He started using wipes as well, for the most part, but always used the trashcan when not.

For now, if it's yellow... let it mellow. I have a water jug ready for when I have to flush it down. Remember, I lived in a campground for three months in the Winter, so I know how to survive without household necessities. I recently took a shower, so I'm good there too. When I know I am not going to lose electricity, I will open them back up and do a steady drip, but it's still snowing its ass off for now. The third picture is my trashcan anchored to my "porch" so it doesn't go anywhere. That's how I can tell how much snow we have. The tree out front still looks good. I am so glad we opted to remove the three big ones in the backyard. They would be exploding for sure!
