12 days w/o power. Hope their water pipes didn't freeze. Unbelievable snow.

Keeps things warm enough inside, for her, my BIL and their little dog, and a couple appliances like the fridge still going.
My BIL though is getting better and better at playing cribbage.

The snow indicates near the Lake Tahoe area by my guess.
Prayers for your loved one's family.
