Maybe it was 2011. I know it was something like Oct 29th. I remember leaving our home that night because power was out and it was still snowing. We lived on a country road. I'm not the type to get "scared" at all, but that drive was a bit scary. We had to turn around a few times due to trees that had fallen across the dark country road. Nearly got stuck once. Drove to a hotel 40 miles away that had power. We really did try to have fun once we returned home. No lights, no water, no sewer, no gas, no heat. It really was quite the adventure. The kids really loved the glow sticks as night lights, they did it for several days after power came back on.
