We live in an area that has been hit by the ice storm--3 inches, and then 9 inches of snow.  We were without electricity for 3 days and had to rely on  a generator for heat.   This is a picture from our house. 

Today my son was playing outside when he heard a kitten weakly crying.  He found it and brought me a half frozen, limp kitten.  I warmed  it up and gave it the only milk I had on hand, my breastmilk.    It is now four hours later and running around our house chasing us.   Unfortunately his three litter mates did not fair as well. 

While we didn't have power and were relying on the generator, I learned how to cook hot meals without my stove, oven or microwave.  I fixed large batches of things in the crockpot and then reheated them in it. 

Now we have power and I am still in awe of how I managed.  It was a fun adventure for a short time.   I wouldn't want to do it often though.
