Ice Storm Still Causing problems

The ice storm that hit central Massachusetts and New Hampshire last Thursday night into Friday is still impacting many people over 125,000 in Ma. and 95,000 in NH are still without electric and cleared roads. Schools have been closed to January and many people have had to move to shelters as they have no electric, heat, water, and some damage to their homes and they can't stay. Pets are in shelters too with cold weather settling in. Yesterday my husband and son went up to our other's son home in Wilton, NH they took chain saws, lamp oil, batteries, and my son's ATV. With my husband ,Bob, supervising the boys cut and moved limbs and trees before it snows again this week. They said it was like a sight from a movie you went from no damaged areas to towns that are still impassable with electric wires still down and trees blocking the roads. Signs are set up with messages for the motorists and town people updating information. Some areas may not have electric till after Christmas. They arrived back home late last night tired but happy with the work they accomplished. Neighbors helping neighbors, family helping family during hard times is what bonds us together. We are very lucky as is my son that when you are in need someone is always going to come lend a hand and help get each other safely through. I hope you all have people that you can count on (I think you must as I read your blogs and see where everyone offers each other positive feedback and words of comfort when needed.) To all of you I wish a Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with Promise of good heath and a improving economy.
