Fortunately we were smart enough to leave one of the cars farther down the road near the entry to our field and that road had been plowed by morning. A crew of six tree workers arrived by mid morning and once again trudged through the thigh high snow to free the line for the Dominion workers but we were on our last piece of firewood! Rick was able to make the trip to his parents to finally get more firewood and walk it all the way back to the house where I was trying to keep the fire going with kindling! By 1:00 the Dominion guys were back and reported they were going to try hard to get the power back on before dark even though the road STILL hadn't been plowed! By 3:00 we were discussing whether we would be able to stay here another night or whether we should pack up and spend the night at his parents - whew! the power finally came back on at 3:15!!! Our road still isn't plowed but at least we have power :) Through all of this, the dogs were unfazed, they got to sleep on the couches with us and what fun playing in the snow!
