I don’t know how old or where you live, but for certain parts of the state this was as bad as it gets since ‘98. So many trees, so many branches, multiple trees laying on the same power line, winds so bad linemen can’t go up in buckets, ice will be treacherous tomorrow, snow weighing down the trees that are still on or close to the lines, it’s bad out there.

If I recall we lost power for over a week in 98

Same. For most of my life I’ve lived in a particularly rural part of VT, where we aren’t a high priority for power line repairs. Having power out for a few days was definitely normal to me growing up, especially during the snowy season.
