This happens because Massachusetts sucks.
It happened in NH too.
I lost power last night @ 11pm. Eversource states power shall be back on @ 4pm this afternoon.
Along with the wind was single digit temps. It was 6 degrees outside at 6:30 am. It was 55 degrees in my bedroom @ 6am when I woke up. I then went down, opened the garage and pulled out the Honda generator. Flipped ten breakers to the Gentran switch box and powered up the house.
