A wonderfully energetic sense of community emerges when we're all toughing it out together, having literally weathered the storm. We've still got downed trees all over and power outages are expected to last for days, but for now, at least, we're finding things to be grateful for (like a car charger so I can post this on my iPad, while also enjoying the car heater).

 

Power's out all over.

Neighbors pause their shoveling

to laugh together.

 

And from last night, when the storm was raging (to undoubtedly be duplicated tonight, sans game):

 

Blackout tableau--

candles, oil lamp, glass of wine,

game on the radio.
