OK. Last night, I awoke around 2 Am to find my house was freezing cold. Seems the power had gone off around 11 pm! Of course, in our house the electricity runs the heat (forced air.) My man went to try and hook up our kerosene heater, only to find that we were out of fuel for it...
our house got pretty chilly, into the mid 60s, before the power came back on around 430 AM. I checked on all the snakes, and they all seemed OK.
I HATE power outages! I was just about to bring the darn snakes into bed with us for warmth! Luckily it did not last that long, but still.
