This is day 3 of the power outage. It has been a good and bad saga , the ying and yang of life.
To wit , this morning ice from the snowbank wasn't needed in the fridge to keep the temperature down b/c the room was the same temperature as the fridge 41 F. Yes , 9 degrees above freezing.
We have a gas fireplace and this device keeps the den at 66 F. The rest of the house , all floors has gone form 66 to 37 F in 3 days.
The gas stove allows us to cook but outdoor adventure indoors isn't quite as appealing as it might sound. We can boil water for coffee and cleaning but dishes didn't get done to-day , too cold in there.
We've taken advantage of an offer of a place to stay to-night that has heat. We got a warm shower in warm room and the whole apartment is warm. Wonderbar ! Can we go back to the ' cave ' as our neighbour's children have dubbed their home ?
Predicted finish of the power restore is Saturday. We're not sure how much colder it can get in the house. The water was left to drip in an effort to keep pipes from freezing. We have taken in a Siamese fighting fish and 6 plants that would have froze in their regular homes.
stay tuned for updates of the ice life in T.O.
