Her area was hit hard by the snow storm and most are without power. It probably will be days or possibly a couple weeks before it is restored. I'm sure she is without internet service also.

May be she is catching up on sleep, whilst on this site she doesn't get much.

Major snow storm in her area...no power.

i agree with flip .. her part of the country got hit pretty damm hard with that bizare snowstorm , hopefully she be back with full entheusiasm anytime soon.we miss you colleen !!

It is very odd without Colleen.  Let's hope things are back to normal asap.

Keep warm Colleen and you pets we are still warm but light rain  ,but still waiting on the bad weather to come take care see you soon all the best.

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR....I am feeling for ya Colleen. We get fluke snow storms here as well and have gotten up in the morning to see 2-4 feet overnight. I really hate the snow, it's wet here, heavy and a pain in the back to shovel.

Many two-dog nights ahead it sounds like. Thinking warm thoughts for you and yours, Colleen.

We have certainly missed her tonight,2 newbies joined and posted degrading questions and comments to Country bumpkin and SunnyB.Hope all is well for Colleen.

she is warmly hibernating. she is accessing the site! Take care Coleen.

LOL, warm.....nope, cool to cold. Warmth came when I'd get in the bronco and just drive around for lack of something better to do ;)

So this is where the party was lol. Yes, my dogs helped to keep me warm. I have a waterbed so when the power went out, so did the heater for the bed. A few quilts on the mattress and my little dogs and we stayed warm enough.  The room was cold however and I kept waking every few hours. The birds were good as I had a small propane heater in their room. They only had to go a couple of hours with no heat when I'd sleep then I'd get up, run their heater till the room warned up again and then I'd shut the heater off and try to get a couple more hours of sleep. This would only be at night time when I couldn't watch for a fire, I do not trust open flame propane or gas heaters. Daytime was OK as the temps outside would get into the high 50's or  60's and that would help take some of the chill out of the house.  Boredom was the worse part of it I think, that and not knowing when the power would come back on. It was tough waking up hoping the electricity was back on only to find that it was not. A week is a long time to wait but it could have been worse, it could have been 2 weeks. So anyway, we are all safe and sound with little damage to the house. We were lucky. :)

Thank you so much to everyone here who thought about us and send good wishes. The wishes did help.

A house blew up 2 nights ago in CT because they were using a propane heater.
