While residents elsewhere made do with cold or visited shelters, those who visited Wallingford could count on hot meals at local restaurants and on entertainment. Not only were there lines at eating places, with school out a lot of people showed up at the Holiday Cinemas to see almost anything being screened, to keep warm, and to eat popcorn, which, after all, is warm.

It was a good thing all around that towns opened shelters for those without power to visit. It creates, of course, a lot of administrative issues, keeping track of who is where, but the good that is accomplished in schools and senior centers goes well beyond merely providing warmth and showers and prepared meals.
