Almost made it through the winter...

Well, we almost made it through the winter without any power outages.

That is, until now. This storm dropped a decent amount of heavy snow on us, knocking out power around 2am. Estimated restoration time = 11:45 pm.

This stinks....

Really sorry to hear that :( here is hoping power returns much sooner than the estimate!

Good luck, hope all goes well!

Thanks guys. Luckily I had today off, so packed up the snakes and came to my father's house.

Now just playing the waiting game....

i hope your power gets restored soon!!! i'm sure it's hard to fit all those critters under your shirt. ;)

Thanks! The snakes are all bagged up in totes staying warm at Dad's house. The ferrets and cat will be fine. I'm worried about the fish though.

the waiting game sucks, instead play Hungry Hungry Hippos. anyway hope your fish will be ok.

Hope your power is restored SOON Craig and that all your critters are just fine!

Oh man, what a beater!

I’m glad you have refuge. :)

Well, could've been a LOT worse.

Power has been restored, snakes are all going back in their enclosures soon, temps just need to come up still.

Unfortunately, three fish didn't make it. Both Silver Dollars and the Bala are in fishy heaven. Had the Bala over 2 years, he was about 10" long. The Silver Dollars were with us for over a year and a half. We got them all as babies. Losing pets always sucks, but I'm trying to remind myself it could have been worse. Sadly, there's over a foot of snow outside, so they're going in the freezer til I can get a shovel in the ground for a proper burial.

R.I.P. fishy friends. Gone but not forgotten.

Sorry to hear about your fish man. :(

very sorry to hear about the fishies. :( glad you've got power back now.

Thanks guys. I just hope in my heart they didn't suffer at all.
Already put an envelope labeled "generator money" in the safe.

Oh no.... the fish did not make it, sorry to hear that! The east coast has been getting slammed with these storms and I know they can be nasty ones too. I'm shocked that Toronto hasn't got any of these storms too, although it's still very cold here. I hope that the power will be back on soon and you and your snakes will be nice and warm soon.
