Ugh, GalaXygrrl...I know that feeling..both with the power outage and the snow shovelling.  Last summer during a storm we had a power outage that lasted 16 hours one day and 5 the next until they got the power restored.  When we lose power in winter, which we often do, too, at least we have the woodstove. 

We lose power quite a bit.  Everyone is prepared for the power outages.  And the snow shovelling mostly I don't mind it.  The worst power outage we had was 3 days.  That one kind of sucked.
