How did Springfieldians keep warm during the cold cold days?

This past January, Springfield was hit by a huge ice storm. It destroyed trees and plant life and threw out power to almost the entire city for days. It was one of the craziest things I haver been through. I was out of power for two weeks. Luckily I was able to stay with Dustin's family (since they were only out of power a couple of days). I felt very grateful to have that luxury at a time like that and actually kind of enjoyed those two weeks. The ice was beautiful and since I don't own a home yet, I had nothing to worry about as far as property damage. I realized during those two weeks how much we rely on and take advantage of electricity.










The front page of our paper today had this news story. I had heard about this before, but still found it quite funny!
