Indeed,

there was
           cider,
               apple cider doughnuts,
                   the toasting of pumpkin seeds,
                     this:

There was also this:

a foot and a half of snow,
  a dragonfly frozen on the windshield,
    the power out,
      huddling 'round the fire,
         dad heating water for coffee with a blow torch
             fallen trees littering the streets,
                everything closed.
