We’re looking at a nor’easter tonight.
Very likely we will lose power. The winter storm warning is for heavy, mixed precip with a total of 6-10” of snow, sleet accumulations of up to an inch, and ice up to 2/10”.
It starts around midnight tonight and is forecast for 100% precip through sunset tomorrow night. Then after the storm is over, the winds will increase with gusts up to 35 mph. Whatever the snow and ice don’t bring down, the winds will.
There have been warnings up everywhere but people here are prepared. LOTS of generators running during many of these events.
We lose power rather easily so I fully expect to be without at some point during the storm for the duration. The blessing is that it is hitting on a weekend and at night.
Your location. I am well aware of where the storm is going, but you described you situation without a location.
We’ve already easily gotten a foot and now it’s starting to be a mix of snow and what looks like rain, perhaps sleet.
Icing on top of this is a recipe for disaster.
Obviously we still have power but with the freezing rain and the way the winds are supposed to kick up starting in a few hours, we’ll see how long that lasts.
We’re in NH near the Upper Valley area, closer to VT.
