Totally. All last week it was snowy (but the university didn't close b/c they didn't want to have to cancel the students' finals...grrrrrr.) Then over the weekend, we got freezing rain. There was 1/2 inch of ice over the two inches of snow, and when the dogs ran out onto it, and their 16 paws broke through, it sounded like thunder!
Last night we lost power for about 5 hours. But it was kind of fun, seeing how resourceful we could be. Lots of candles, the fireplace and lots of wood (courtesy of summer before last when DH downed the 8 apple trees that crowded our yard), our habit of buying batteries at Costco so we always have a lot of all sizes, all of our camping gear--including 2 propanes stoves, a propane heater, clothing, sleeping bags, etc., etc., etc. So we had a nice fire going, candles all around, and music playing before we went to bed last night. Almost (note, I said almost) disappointing when the power came back on at 2am.
Here's the dogs playing in the snow. They're all completely puppified by it.

You guys were so prepared! I am impressed. I was excited that I knew where candles and something to light them were.
