Default CLP Outage

So who else here in the NE has been with out power since last Saturday's snow storm?
Here it is Tuesday I've been sleeping fully dressed in a cold house with no hot water.
Non of my family or friends have any either so using somebody elses shower is not a option. The city has a public place to clean up but I'd rather stay dirty than use them lol.

At night time I've been sitting in my xj for the heat and browsing the forums mobile.

What's your story's?

We lost it here in NJ at around 3pm on Saturday and my roommates and I were suppossed to have a Halloween party that night (we're college seniors and just wanna party our last year lol). Since we had no power and now way to get our beer cold, we grabbed some snow from outside and stock a bunch of rubber maid containers full of beer and snow. Redneck coolers ftw!! Got it back Sunday night just in time for the late football game.
