My gas line on my car froze, too, but a little warm up in the parking lot of an Italian restaurant took care of that little problem.

The only thing missing is a purring cat on your lap. My pound kitten I got right before Thanksgiving (at 1.6 pounds) is trained (ha! not trained, just likes to do it) to crawl down onto my feet when I tell him my feets are too cold. He's now 5.2 pounds!! and puts out some serious warmth. I'd say I'd share, but I couldn't, he's too dear already, but I could go get you your own at the pound, they always have way too many cats and kittens. Did you get enough $20s to get dug out clear to the street? If not I'm sure your teens will do so anyway, such is the way of teen boys, and you'll be fine, even without power. Just call it a God-enforced contemplative time, and you couldn't have a more wonderful view.

The snow, so far, is heavy and wet (temps in RB hit 42 today)so it won't be an easy shoveling chore.<br />There's already talk of DE issuing a State of Emergency which will shutdown everything tomorrow.
