However, with lots of snow and ice comes power outages. At one point, close to 70,000 people were without power in the Portland area, and unfotunately the electricity gods were not happy with the Houghton household. The power went out around 8:30am on Monday. Luckily our house is very well insulated so it took a little while for the temperature to go down. Dad also had the propane well stocked just in case this happened. He was actually quite pleased to use the BBQ to cook our lunch that day.
When the power did not come back later in the day, we started to get a bit worried, especially with temperatures dipping into the 20's that night. So, Mick came to our rescue in the FJ and the Houghton clan stayed at the McCully-Posner's for the night.
Power is back on now (YAY!), and we're really excited about our prime rib Christmas dinner tomorrow! Happy Christmas everyone!!!
