ice storm update

Hello all, I was premature in revealing that my power was restored. Only for an hour and then it went out again until about an hour ago. I checked on a friends house because they are out of town. Went to shut off water main and light woodstove. I had to walk about 1/4 mile because the road was impassable due to downed trees and power lines. Took a ride up to my property on the top of the mountain. Must be 12 trees across road. I got some great photos of the ice and storm damage. There is about 330,000 people without power in New Hampshire. The crews have been working around the clock. God bless them. Well thats it for now. Peace Catmandon

Ice everywhere

The power just came back on. I'm amazed that it happened so soon. Only been out for 20 hrs, some people are looking at 3-6 days. Major damage to trees as they are coated with 1/2 in of ice. You could hear trees snapping in half today , sounded like cannons going off in the woods. Huge credit to the power company linemen who work long , dangerous hours getting power restored. Freakin guys are unsung heroes in my book. Lots of homes will be freezing up tonight, the temp going down to single digits. BRRRR Stay warm, wherever you are. If I wasn't making so much money I would rather be back in Barbados . Peace for now Catmandon

major storm

Well it's 8:30 and the freezing rain is coming down pretty heavy. They say there might be 1/2 of ice on everything in the am. I've got three flooded condos to go to in the morning. Good luck getting off my mountain. I'm sure we will busy extremely busy with flood work for the next couple of weeks and maybe all winter. They are starting to come in at a pretty good rate now. Well I better get some rest, going to need it. Peace Catmandon
