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 ?
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.
Check out some reports from ND. 50 trees down from the snow. Crop damage. 12-24" totals. 5 foot drifts. Visibility less than 1/4 mile. Full fledged October 11th Blizzard happening.
