My power went out at 2:30 this morning and it is still out. We got about 5 inches of very wet snow. It is still coming down.
My generator is running. Enough power for the frige, freezer, tv, coffe maker and lights. But not enough to run the water pump so no water. |

Look out below! The bright sun is warming things up just enough to cause the snow to drop off the trees and roofs like bombs. |

Re: [All] New England Weather Friends of mine in Nashua are lucky to be alive this morning and are counting their blessings. A neighbor's house caught fire last night. And when they went outside to see, a power pole snapped and nearly fell upon them. All around town up there, transformers exploded and left most of the city in the dark.
I'm glad I made the decision to head home last night rather than spend a second night up there after a Hallowe'en party. As it was, heading south at 4 o'clock, Route 3 north of 495 was a little iffy. South of 495 at that point, it was mostly wet. But even before I heard about the near miss, I was glad I headed home *before* the roads got bad.
Here in Framingham, we lost power around 11:30 last night. I was using candles on general principle for light and warmth, so I didn't even know when the power actually went out until my laptop lost Internet connection -- the UPS backing the router finally ran out of juice.  When I woke up this morning, power was already back. This morning, we're just waiting for Maintenance to come reset the water heaters. All in all, not too bad.
The storm has been worse to us than Irene. Irene barely did anything to the area. However, snow sticking to trees mostly full of leaves has made them even more dangerous than iced over tree limbs.

Woke up to mostly bare pavement and blue skies, here. Maybe 2" on the cars, at most. I did hear the snowplow come through during the night at some point, but it seems like this one mostly missed us. Yay

Power out from 04:40 to 05:10. Verizon hiccuped about 2.
Driveway and streets are green with leaves. Twig city. Not photo worthy.
None of the dead branches I wanted to fall did.
Friggin' leaves. I've got 6 bags ready for the dump/ Transfer Station/ whatever and it's going to be a zoo tomorrow.
Weather station at the house said 40mph wind last night.
Weather Dude down the street screwed up his site »www.capecodweather.net/
so it doesn't show raw and compiled data anymore. His anemometer is more accurate than mine. |

We lost power for about 5 hours and cable/phone/internet will be down until tomorrow. I didn't measure the snow but I'm guessing it was about 6" of nasty wet snow. No damage done just a ton of down branches and I have no idea how to get rid of all that wood!

We're simply without heat at the moment but are otherwise getting by.

We got 2+ feet of snow where I live in NH...unreal! Shattered every record for October snowfall. (And came close to breaking some Nov and Dec records in some places around here). Some areas got 3 feet of snow.
Amazingly, we didn't lose power....which we usually do with our lousy power company if the winds go above 5mph. Heh.
Anyway, I figure we lucked out because most of the trees have lost their leaves up here. Good luck to you folks still without power.
Looking at the news, it's amazing how much damage this historic October snowstorm did. Yikes!!

We got cable/internet/phone back yesterday about lunch time instead of afternoon today because Verizon said they don't do any work if the place doesn't have power so half their schedule was bummed yesterday. It's weird how power is patchy but the Wendy's next to the Home Depot here has power while the Home Depot has no power yet the street lights for a mile in each direction are out.

Been without power since Saturday around 6PM. Been on generator since Saturday. Looks like no school or power this week.
My guess not the town of clp. The whole nw corner of CT nearly 100% out of power.
How's everybody else doing? |

| reply to gt1racer
no power was lost down here In Fall River which is how I uploaded local forecast videos during the storm. I hope everyone else is doing well and I hope power or water comes back soon for those who don't have it. |
