Whether you play monopoly with your family by your pumpkin's candlelight or you stopped by local business to get warm, we want to see your photos of what you did while power was out in Natick.
Saturday's freak snowstorm left thousands in Natick and across the Northeast without power and some will not have it restored until Monday. Despite the inconveniences and the lack of heat, many across town are making the most of this Halloween weekend in the dark. Add your photos to this article or email them to Alissa.Letkowski@patch.com. If you don't have any photos to share, tell us what you did or are doing in the comments section below. Keep warm! And if you're still without power today and tonight, the Morse Institute Library will stay open overnight as a shelter.
