Decision made for us by Mother Nature

We are enjoying our Florida sun today but for the little ones up North it was all fun and games last night.......the foot of snow and the glow of the lights made for a winter wonderland of fun.....But in the morning, reality set in and a return to the primitive ways began again.
It was only a couple of months ago that Hurricane Irene devastated this state and they lost power for a week......it looks like it will be a similar experience for the area with 97% of the town without power and roads impassable due to trees and powerlines down. Too bad we didn't have enough time to preposition the RV in their driveway.

I remember, with painful clarity, the power losses we had over the years up there....it is difficult and expensive and traumatic. The boys will no doubt be out of school again for many days......I can't imagine how they will ever make up all of the missed school from Sept and now. Meanwhile,I think they should FEDEX the boys down here while their house and school remains dark and cold.
