oh-oh yesterday

We had rain in the morning and then when everything was nice and wet, the snow started ! Sticking to everything especially trees that still had leaves. And power lines... After about 8 inches fell... dense stuff... the electricity went off!! No power... outages all over the Kansas City area. Not everyone but enough that the KCP&L had workers come in from other areas.

So we had an afternoon of reading and snow shoveling ( BOB)... and as things got darker I started looking for candles. Luckily we had enough! Our furnace is gas but we need electricity to run the fan etc. The gas insert fireplace kept the family room warm and with matches lighting our gas stove I was able to cook dinner.
As Bob said, candles are romantic but that's about it.  8 hours later the lights came back on !! He is deciding on what we need to make another no electricity reasonable...

We did have limbs fall, as did our neighbors, so after the snow melts Bob will have cut them up into
permissible size. The trash company won't take BIG stuff in their green pick up.... green stuff doesn't go to a landfill, Missouri law,  it is composted .
