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.

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:

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
