I went out to the island yesterday to do some chores in preparation for having my daughter and her family out for the long holiday weekend. On entering the cottage I quickly raced to the kitchen area to see if I'd need waders to be able to approach the refrigerator. I was thrilled to see that there was no "casual" water on the floor, and when I checked things out in the freezer....the four 5 lb bags of ice were unscathed! Over the course of the 11+ hour outage the temperature in the freezer had not even dropped enough to cause the individual ice cubes to freeze together into a block when the power came back on! Great news.....and thanks brk-Int for putting my mind at ease with your post!
