Lost it from 11 last night. Came back on at 7:30 this morning. Been on ever since and lots of snow for the kids to play in.
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

Lost it 4 days after Irene; none out here this time in Metro West. Feel for the Cape folks (like my 90 year old Aunt) who lost theirs.

I didn't lose power. Hopefully, everyone has it back by now.

Still out here. Thank god the new house has gas inserts as I had to bail from the apartment when it hit 44 inside. In general Wareham is a total mess no power anywhere trees and branches down all over.

Same here Dan, Pembroke is a mess.
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

Just got it back here in Falmouth at the house, 10-12 inches of wet slop, blowing in at 80 makes for a lotta broken limbs and wires down here, still 68 % of town is dark. Mashpee is 91% out.

most of Aquidneck Island has no power, we're fortunate to be in the small portion that has power but a limb took the lines right off my house and they are laying across the yard...keeping my fingers crossed that we'll continue to have power, had to drive to pick up my mom the next town over late this afternoon and it was treacherous on the main roads and barely negotiated the neighborhood roads to get her out of there and get home...the one gas station that I saw open had a line of cars way down East Main Road...saw very little plowing happening...but I did see some utility trucks..I know that Bristol is out but my dad has a generator fortunately....my wife finally reached her mom via text in Plymouth and she responded briefly saying she had no power....feel really bad for the folks without tonight...

24 hrs now. House down to 50°……ugh !

Lost it 8pm last night in EP and got it back at 7pm. Less than 24hrs and the house got to 48 inside. Very thankful to have it back tonight. This was my first time not having heat in the winter and what a reality check! They need to think of a more intimidating name than Nemo for the next storm..

Yep.

NOPE!! Burrillville = Zero outages.

49 inside this morning here..they say 3-5 days possible before powers back. Great.

Last night looked very eerie .. Newport bridge's lights were only working on the east side. The west side of the bridge was totally black.

Still out

thank god i didnt loose power

Ty'sdad I'm in same boat as you. I stopped babysitting the fire last night and woke to 45 degrees. Here is the nat grid outage link RI to hull looks to line of outages. https://s3.amazonaws.com/stormcenter.nationalgridus.com/external/m_ma.html

Power went out around 11:00 Friday night and came back on at 6:00 AM. The only thing I hate is my kids being cold. They did fine and slept through the night but I just remember running out of oil when I was a kid and freezing and my dad worked for an oil company - never really understood that. Really bad feeling being cold, makes you feel for people that can't afford heat or are homeless, makes you really appreciate what you have. A women that loves me (for some unknown reason). healthy family and friends, a roof over my head - with HEAT and food in my belly, the rest is all bull#^&#^&#^&#^&.

On a lighter note later in the day yesterday the lights went out again around 2:00. We waited a little while then put a call into the light company. Just after my wife told the women the lights went out they came back on. We told her what amazing service, that she must have flicked a switch, we all had a good laugh. All kidding aside Hingham light is really good, been here 14 years in a coastal community and don't ever remember being without power for too long, I am currently knocking on my head which happens to made out of wood.

Be safe out there!!! :uhuh:

Still no power, it sucks but kind of funny seeing the 18 year old girl and 15 year old boy going nuts without the electronics.

Too freakin funny! :rotf2:

Just got it back since friday night. If there's one thing I learned from a storm like this:

Lego sets from the 80's have absolutely terrible instructions

never lost power...not even during Sandy. (there is something to be said for underwater and underground cables)

Just got it back an hour ago. Wife is out of town and the kids all found friends who had power so it was just me here stoking the fireplaces. Too much stoking as at 2 30 this morning I had a chimney fire that fortunately extinguished itself. 49 degrees this morning but warmer than the 3 it was out at the woodshed.!!!

44 inside... No heat...
This is about the fourth time in the last two years. its getting old. I think it's time to buy a generator. What's a decent one go for?

Outage Map (http://outage.nstar.com/outage/outagemap.aspx)

cape and buzzards bay shore side still siginificantly affected

We came back online last night. Kept the kids happy and wifi going with a small power inverter. Of the 13 years I've been here all the power outages have been in the past 2 years.

Right now there are more utility trucks in the vaciity moving around than electrons! Truck sitting across the street for 3hrs, maybe had the boom raised and working for a total of 20min.

Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

I've heard alot of reports of trucks just sittin around doing 'manly' things

45hrs, we are BACK! Truck sat there 5hrs, maybe 30min actual work but it is the last 5 min that counted when the guy threw the breaker. Major coordination effort with other points of breakage.

Still camping, although we have hot water and the wood stove is cranking.

Have a Generator and 1500W electric heater if someone needs to borrow - can meet around PVD area tomorrow or Warwick Area tonight - PM me

I was out for about 30 hours. Most of Bourne is still out. My neighborhood has underground lines, which helped out.

We lost power.....worst 6 minutes of my life!:rotf2::biglaugh::jump1::rotflmao::think:

Come on Bourne one more day Don't want to go to work tomorrow.

This storm was a wake up call for lots. Westport sent out cAll they were gonna do minimal plow till storm over roads r still HORRENDOUS. Driven smoother easier dirt roads on block.
We lost power from 9 Friday till about 9 last nite. When massive blue arcing lit up yrad Generator but no heat had to ship fam off to outlaws as she never lost power down street. Got mighty cold down to 42 in house with space heaters cranking
This storm sucked. Got just enough of driveway done to get out when drive gear on ariens disintegrated. Smaller ariens couldn't handle it. And still had to figure out other family memebers that I responsible for. Too much horrible shoveling
The. Power came on And heating element that ignites 1st floor furnace toasted big thanks to 5/0 that was able to talk me through a transplant of the part from the attic furnace. Couldn't get part Anywhere today
No cable. Worried that the power surge toasted all our electronics tht were plugged into same surge protector - blue ray player, phone, Internet stuff and dust buster. Tv was plugged into same wall socket and is fine. Garage door opener not workin either. Gotta put a call into insurance co tomorrow. Joyous blizzard.
Crazy thing is I remember it used to snow like this all the time as a kid and it was just the norm
Was funny at Home Depot today watching people fighting for $1200 snowblowers and generators. A truck came in with a load of generators and people were waiting in line to help them unload them directly into their shopping carts
Westportmafia still has no power 2 miles down the street so I let him punish my toilet and shower and sent my generator home with him

CCCC closed tomorrow...... until 3pm.


#^&#^&#^&#^&ing night class....:1poke:

Lost power friday night at 1130pm & came back on Sunday night at 830pm. Yesterday morning was the coldest, inside house temp dipped down to 32 degrees!!

Drove down to Chatham and picked up a spare generator from my cousin and my neighbor wired directly to my burner. Within a few hrs I had the house temp back up into the 60s. Was very worried about my water pipes.

Still have friends in town w/o power right now, sucks.

Mike, buy a generator. I bought a Generac, auto start wired right into the house. The whole house is on it complete with the well, furnace and all the rooms. I also have 2 wood stoves. I no longer am at the mercy of anyone. BTW, I have 25 gallons of gas as a backup for the generator and snow blowers. 15 gallons of diesel for the front loader and 2 cords of wood in the garage for the wood stoves. Another 5 cords stacked under tarpaulins.

Paul - you are certainly prepared!! After these past few days, I'll be buying a generator soon.

That's one of those age things. too much work not to be prepared.

Bingo!!!

We went thru the whole stomr, and luckily did not loose power even though it pulled down and surged quite a few times. Had to go and pick up my nephew and his girlfriend in quincy once the lifted the driving ban as they lost power the night before as well.
took me 3 hours round trip from Brockton to Quincy which normally takes about 40 min.
Then today, storm over, boom lost power for about an hour, go figure.
But at least we were lucky and so far have no damage, neighbor down the street had a 30 ft pine tree uproot in their yard, thank goodness it missed their vehicles and hous.

Closing in on 72 hours here. House down to 37. Not effing good.

edit: 69 hours and change officially, power finally back.

Something I use to keep my pipes safe. A karosene heater. Home depot an many other places have them. Set it around mid setting an it will run for close to 12 hrs. Many gas stations have karosene an there is even a scent addative you can put in your fuel can like pine an so on.I've use one for years for the cold spots the wood stove won't reach.They aren't like the old ones that are very dangerous.Just keep a window cracked near them. I even use one to keep the dirty side of my hop heated.Hope this helps some. Ron

Conn Power has arrived in force at Brant Rock!!! Power by morning maybe

Went out around 10 PM Friday night and got it back around 6 PM last night. House dropped to 40.
Once the hype calms down I will start looking for a generator, my part of town is always last to get power back.

power went out about 5pm friday, back on about 8pm last night. cable on about 9am this morn. three books, 2 big bottles of wine. house survived, three full days of conversing with wife and daughter:yak5: Wife recovering(she is a trooper)should have shipped her to her mothers though. Got damn cold down to 34 sunday morning. my neighbor came over and shared his gen a few hours each day. note to self...buy a F#*^%#@ generator. never again.

You should try living in the "Ghetto" section...I'm very surprised we got it back already. Historically in 8 years I've lived there the average outage has been 4 days ..

I've only been in town for the last 2 storms, the hurricane and this one, but you got power back sooner than I did both times. The neighbors around here said its always several days.
I wonder if its simply that our town is low on NG's list?

I dont know if there is a priority list to speak of but we always seem to lose power, and when we do its for 2 days minimum. Talking to a few people around town Pembroke has been that way for quite some time now. I wont think about it again until the next time, and I kick myself in the ass for not getting a generator again..

My brother-in-law texted us that his power only came back on at 1:23 p.m. today, the 12th, and he lives on Wellington Circle in Pembroke.

Lost ours again, 26 hrs ago, the lights just came back on. Whew!!! Generator here we come!
