    28 hours for me. No generator. I had large pots of water simmering on the gas range for about 13 hours, but that eventually created enough CO to set off the alarms. Spent some time in the car then.

    Well power went out around midnight and this morning the water stopped trickling. I went ahead and shut the water off to the house assuming that’s the best thing to do?

    Try and drain the pipes by turning on the furthest faucet in the house - or any faucet if it's frozen. it's not a guarantee at this point (like turning all the faucets on when you know all the pipes aren't frozen) but you need to release the pressure.

    We made it night two without power, over 30 hours now. Something has to give soon though.

    Can we sue for EARCOT and the power companies to pay our inflated gas bills from reheating our homes? Or, do we sue Mother Nature...that b****?

    Has anyone noticed all the birds seem to be hanging around more in the backyard? It’s like they don’t know what to do with themselves.

    Parents live in North Shore and lost power at 2 am. They are seniors and I'm worried.

    Anyone else living on the East side of town?
