    When the power goes out...
    The nor'easter here in MA was a little worse than I anticipated. At 9:30pm We lost power with no restoration date in sight, so it was into the snake bags, onto some hand warmers, and in front of a (carefully monitored) fireplace (the picture is from 3am). Now that we have the generator running and everyone is back in their vivs.... I'm going to sleep [emoji25]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...38b763a673.jpg

    Ugggh, yup, this storm sucks.

    I'm in MA as well, lost power at 2am.

    I live in No Central MA in Ayer, sounds like you got it worse than I did. What part of the state are you in?

    Hey Neighbor!! I'm in Westford! I live basically across from and behind some woods so we have a LOT of trees down here. We went out at 9:30pm. Still no restoration date from national grid either but I am ever thankful for our generator!

    Oh wow, you're only a few miles down the road. I will definitely be buying a generator before next winter. I honestly can't believe I don't have one already. Ugggh. Last I saw Nat Grid was saying 11:45 tonight, but now it says "assessing damage".
    Fingers crossed for both of us to be restored soon!

    Yup, snakes are fine, ferrets and cat will be fine, just worried about the fish.

    Good luck guys. Live in WV here. A few years ago before I had snakes, I lost all my fish from 2 different lengthy outages (over 4 days on each one). We got a generator after that.
