Finally got power back Friday night.
Some are going to be without until Wed.
I love my generator!

17 inches of heavy wet stuff can really do some damage.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.“

Yes, John, Barkhamsted, CT.
There are still a few towns that have canceled school tomorrow. That is 7 snow days already.
Power is still out to many thousands.
My wife and I drove home Sat night (10/29) from Southington. Normally a 1 hr. trip, took 3 hours. I shoveled snow in my tuxedo. I drove through tree canopies. I cannot believe my Subaru was undamaged.
Was forced to backtrack about 7 times, before we finally found a route home. Definitely plowing the last 3-4 miles with my low slung Impreza. Finally got stuck getting in my driveway. The plows balled it up like giant snowmen.
I easily drove under a dozen trees being supported by nothing but power lines barely sneaking under quite a few.
Once was stopped by a large tree, preparing to turn around when a large crack was heard behind us. Almost trapped.
