Above are just a couple of picture to show the amount of snow that we received here in Middletown Connecticut this past Saturday. We had about 8" of snow, but parts north of us got over 20" which is unheard of around here this time of the year.
I can only remember one other time in my life time that we got a significant amount of snow in October, and that was in October of 1978, but even though it was a significant amount of snow in 1978, it was not as much as we just got. This snow storm would rival most of the snow storms that we get during the peak of Winter. I hope that this is not an indication of the type of Winter that we are going to have, but it is not what I would consider a good start.
This snow storm created more damage than any other that I can remember. The damage was so extensive that 7 days late as much as 90% of the residence of some towns are still without power, and I are not talking about small rural towns, I am talking about towns like Farmington, and West Hartford.
CL&P is saying that 99% of Connecticut will have power back by Sunday night, but something tells me that they will fall far short of that goal. This is a time for those of us that have had our power restored need to reach out to those that are still without, and offer a warm place to sleep, as well as a warm/hot shower.
