Power free and enjoying a bit of 18th century in Buffalo!

This is Charlene's mom. She's living the Amish life right now, no power, no internet, no car.... The Buffalo weather took down their power and internet, a driver who couldn't see around a snow bank (yes, a snow bank, and yes, in mid-October!) took care of the car part. They're looking for a horse and buggy and trying to find a jungle drum for communications, but until then, they're even more behind the times than usual for Buffalo. :-D It could be a week, the area is just decimated.... Everyone is fine and warm living with relatives who managed to get their power back.

Hi Mrs Goodberry!
Glad to hear that everyone is well and warm. I was getting concerned about everyone out that way.
Heard that Rochester is downright tropical compared to Buffalo (Mom and Dad said you guys only got a dusting)...
Take care and it's nice to hear from you!

Thanks, Mrs. Goodberry!! We were all worried about Charlene and family! Please tell her that her Chicky friends miss her and hope that she's warm and safe!!
