Subject: Ice storm in Toronto
I just got back from spending Christmas in England with my sister. She came
to us last year; this time we went to her. Fortuitous good timing, as it
turned out. The ice storm that hit this part of Canada over the holiday was
so bad it made the international news.
In my absence, a contractor was to do some renovations; so at least there
was someone keeping an eye on the place. He phoned me a week ago with an
update: the house had no power for at least five days. (Putting the work
back a week, of course; but that's trivial.) I'm just so glad we were out
of the country, especially considering my mother's age. I'd have been
really worried, with the uncertainty and no heat or lights. Right over
Christmas, too. As it is, I have to clear out a lot of perished goods from
the refrigerator and freezer; but fortunately there was no damage to the
house.
However, I'm concerned how other people fared. I know I'm not the only FK
fan hereabouts! Of course, no one could contact the list until they got
their power back; and by that time they probably had more urgent things on
their minds.
Is everyone all right?

Sorry for the big storm. I lost heat here probably on the two coldest days
if the year in Houston. I am sure you would laugh but it is still cold to me.
I was never warm in Ct. And it is still not as cold as your home town.
Glad everyone is safe now.

McLisa here. I'm fine, I hope we're all ok, and that those who don't
have power will get it back soon!
Gwen, I'm glad you're safely back and missed the worst of it. Steph, I
sympathize. I'm originally from SC, so I know it feels just as bad to
be without power in southern style cold weather. It's all a matter of
what you're used to.
So, how are the rest of us?
