Finally got my power back after almost a week
I'm in CT and we had the freak October snowstorm that knocked out power lines, transmission wires and substations all throughout the northern part of the state...

Question - I already tossed everything in the freezer, as well as things like milk & butter from the fridge. However, are things like orange juice okay to keep? How about juices that were otherwise sealed (apple juice in a plastic bottle)? I'm assuming I have to toss them as well, but wanted to check, just in case.

Thanks

1. I think the apple juice is OK. You hadn't opened it, after all.
I suspect the orange juice is OK too, but the smell will tell you.

Anything that hadn't been opened would be OK.

I'm glad you're back having power!

:hi:

4. Chilly! How did you guys keep warm? I've got power but no furnace, so we've been
running electric heaters and the oven. :scared:
