We had an ice storm in the winter of 1948 (could actually have been 1949 instead) that knocked out all power for almost a week. We heated the downstairs for a few days by burning coal in the fireplace. The power company finally ran a line from our house to the Vanderbilt's next door (to the left, looking at the street)for us to get power until they could make a final fix. R.
