    How long will the people have to struggle with cold without any electricity? What I wanna know is this will be over soon or not because apparently over the weekend more than twenty people have died because of this and if there is no relief many more could succumb.

      There’s been next to no communication from the energy company distributor and the “non-profit” that control the grid. So we honestly have no clue, the story’s changed from rolling outages, to power back on Tuesday, to now a answer of nebulous days. I think at this point we just have to wait until the weekend because I’m sure they’re going to be waiting until things thaw instead of doing anything.

          No wonder the question sounded so familiar lol. I was gonna type more but I was too tired and my hands too cold.

          I got power back early this morning, but guaranteed it’ll go out again very soon

              No, luckily. The apartment manager sent out an email that they’ve shut water off for the whole complex because some peoples’ pipes burst, but we never tried to use water when we had power for a few hours yesterday so that probably helped

                So no problems with drinking water, grooming, etc?

                  We have big water jugs we filled with water before the storm, but we only got 2/4 filled. Swung by the store this morning and managed to find two small hand jugs of water, so we’re okay with that. No showers or anything though but we washed on Sunday
