Neighboring states need to be ready to help restore power. I've experienced this and seen this happen too much recently. We had crews from Canada and Louisiana here in CT when we had our October snowstorm with leaves around

Yeah, I didn't really consider that to be a factor, at all. There goes my electric heat, but at least it's not -25...


But, common sense dictates, that somehow, all these trees, must have survived last 120 years. Surely they had to go through this every now and then, no ?


Or is this a super-rare event considering it's early October ? I haven't checked almanachs, but it doesn't strike me as something that wouldn't happen semi-regularly around here, no ?

Wind is much weaker now than at 5am, but snow picked up.

It just might be a 24-36" event after all...

Snow drifts are already above knee level.

This is at 8.30am

For those of you who never experienced it, this is something that happens when heavy snow weighs down on trees too close to powerlines. Its an eery seen and sound. This happened all over this region October 2011 snows.

Ah yes, October 29, 2011. One year to the date before Superstorm Sandy.
