We now have cable restored AS OF 8 PM. Heat has been back on since 2 pm.
Most National Grid customers here were restored around 8 pm . GOOD THAT THEY DID, TEMPS ARE DROPPING NOW.
We plowed 4 times today/tonight, still snowing lightly now and the winds are picking up again. The power lines and trees are encrusted with 3/4 inch of ice and very heavy snow . We have many downed huge branches and the situation will not improve til temps rise above freezing . So the potential for additional power/cable / etc outages is still an issue .
Life ain't a dress rehearsal: Spread enthusiasm , avoid negative nuts.
