I lived a good part of my life out at Glass Lake, Averill Park. We once had an ice storm that took down all the power lines and the entire area was without power for FIVE days! Water pipes froze -- Miserable mess! Be glad you're not there! Jean <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone.

I grew up on a dairy farm way out in the boonies of Dutchess County. Things like that happened all the time.....of course that was after we got electric power and running water in the first place. LOL. Dad had 92 head and had to milk them all by hand when we had power outages. He was used to it from the days when there was no electric power in the barns but it was no fun, believe me!!
