Yeah got power back this morning..

I was on Mountain rd during the event and it was a completely different world up there. Cars, trucks etc stuck in ditches and left there till the event was over. They had the ramp to 84 West from Mountain rd ( exit 2) closed.

I’ve been following things in some Milford/Dingmans Ferry Facebook pages (we’re the next town over the border in Jersey) and it’s like a war zone there. Same thing...people stuck in parking lots all night because so many roads are blocked with trees and wires. We have to go out for more gas for the generator shortly...hopefully we can get to the gas station. (I’ve heard some of the pumps and Rt 23 in Montague are blocked from all the tractor trailers that were diverted off of 84 yesterday). But it’s probably better by now. I think I read that 84E is open again.

Looks like Sunday night is the best case scenario to get power back and it may be longer than that. I'll be out of firewood by sunrise  and the next few nights are going to be pretty cold. It sucks when you're on a well and can't run the pump and leave water dripping, the pipes freeze...

That’s terrible...I’m sorry! I hope you can get some firewood. We don’t even have a restore time update, which is making me nervous. Hopefully now that the winds are gone they can get out to assess, etc.

All of orange county west of Middletown is in the dark tonight. Trees down everywhere and many side roads are impassable. Middletown itself has no snow but you don't have to go far west of the city to run into it. Estimated restoration is Sunday fml

I was just saying in the obs forum that Pike County PA (Milford, etc) is a mess. I’m the next town over (Montague NJ) and we don’t have power either, but we didn’t get as much snow as they did, especially up on the mountain. People are stranded everywhere and sleeping in parking lots.
