As of 8 am this morning, per ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
argus7hills. HIS work sent him home today. Mine, alas, did not. Despite the fact that we're running on emergency generators. Ah well.
Why is all the power out? Because the world looks like this (apologies - this was taken in the freezing rain with my cell phone):
The reports on the radio say that there are more than 200,000 PSNH customers without power right now, and they're expecting that number to rise this afternoon and evening, when the temperature drops to the low 20s and high teens and all this lovely rain freezes again. They're also saying it may take DAYS to get everyone back up and running. Ugh. There are tree branches and TREES down everywhere. Most of the towns I went through this morning at 6 am were without power, either completely or partially. We had power flickers all last night, which means not a lot of sleep.
Welcome to New Hampshire in the winter. *sigh* Oh well, it could be snow.
Then again, snow's less destructive, and easier to deal with.
Needless to say, if we lose power, we won't be going to Connecticut or Vermont this weekend.
