Utility crews raced Saturday to restore power to tens of thousands of customers across New England and New York after a powerful storm dumped 2 feet of snow in some places.
More than 160,000 customers in New England were in the dark as of the afternoon and another 20,000 were without power in New York as heavy snow brought tree limbs onto power lines, according to poweroutage.us, which tracks outages across the country.
Restoration efforts were complicated by snow still falling in some places, making travel dangerous. Doug Foley, Eversource president of electric operations in New Hampshire, said snow-covered roads were making it tough for workers to reach communities in order to assess damage and make repairs.
"We are still taking on system damage in parts of the state where heavy, wet snow continues to fall, and hundreds of additional crews are coming to New Hampshire to support our restoration effort," Foley said in an emailed statement.
As of Saturday afternoon, Eversource had restored power to nearly 61,000 customers in New Hampshire since the beginning of the storm, but another 40,000 remained without power, according to the utility.
Green Mountain Power, which serves customers in Vermont, said more outages were possible there with temperatures not expected to warm up enough in the next couple of days to melt the snow.
"Clearing downed trees to get to outage locations has been slow and difficult," Mike Burke, the utility company's vice president of field operations, said in a statement.
More than 2 feet of snow was recorded in parts of Vermont and western New York, and many communities across the region saw more than a foot, according to the National Weather Service.
Whilst I've mentioned previously that 2023 is a year in which to be concerned about, it's becoming increasingly apparent as to where the cold air in both hemispheres is heading.
Now please correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't 23.5 degrees supposed to be the axial tilt of planet Earth, seems its been revised, 23.4 is now becoming the new benchmark, so would not such a movement and Earth's magnetic field's movement change Earth's weather, just a thought
and we've still got to look forward to the 2024 planetary alignment which will pull the Earth slightly off its eliptical orbit .
BUCKLE UP! Beginning 2021, the earth and other planets will be begin moving into a planetary alignment that last happened in 79 A.D. This alignment will culminate in 2024, with when earth's gravitational pull by the sun will be cancelled out as earth moves directly between an aligned Jupiter and Saturn, and into the magnetic field created by that alignment.
Also, in 2023-24, there will also be a square of Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto and Uranus. The last time this happened was sometime between 536-578 A.D. (he suspects the date has been obfuscated to keep us in the dark) which was a very dire period of seismic activity, revolution, war and death.
In addition, in 2023 Pluto will move into the area marked by the constellation of Aquarius, which is associated with electricity/technology (he wonders about this involving 5G), change, rebellion and revolution as seen the last time Pluto was in this position-- the American Revolution!
Then on April 8, 2024 a solar eclipse will occur over America. Combined with these other planetary configurations, the San Andreas or the New Madrid earthquake faults may be triggered and the super-volcano in Yellowstone may erupt to create a volcanic winter.
All of this will occur as the sun continues decreasing its output due to the Grand Solar Minimum which has already begun.
steven23 All of that ^ and more coming our way. All of those prophetic warnings about what is coming down the pike are not the dark fantasies of cult-addled primitives, those visions of chaos and catastrophic events will be moving into our reality, very soon, bad moon rising and all that. Some of the living will indeed come to envy the dead. The GSM is still ignored, purposefully, by the PTB, keeping the sheeple in the dark until it's far too late for any self-help. We do indeed live in interesting times.
