Like Jim, early in our marriage we were stuck in Springfield Illinois when a large ice storm hit. Large parts of central Illinois, Missouri, and Iowa were blanketed in inches of ice. No power. Fortunately where we were had a heatalator fireplace so by judicious cutting of downed trees we stayed a toasty 50 degrees F. Worked pretty well for cooking as long as the freezers contents held out. Good memories after the fact. On Sun, Feb 10, 2019 at 12:18 AM Howard Cummer via LUG <lug at leica-users.org> wrote: > Hi Luggers, > > Well, the 90 Km winds did blow in.
