That was my interpretation- People just left stuff in the fridge maybe when they went off to friends with power and warm showers etc.
I recall the guy from Seattle saying one night without power is "quaint", and then everyday thereafter its all just a PItA.
At the 3 day mark , I figure this would about match my threshold for pain if I could reasonably "evacuate" to a warm shower and someone elses TIVO!
