  1. This is been an issue in this town for years. Right after the October snowstorm asplund was contracted to come in and make some major improvements. As soon as they started there were complaints left and right from people who didn't want trees trimmed, or worse taken down. As far as I'm concerned if they don't want preventative maintenance then they have to be prepared for the consequences. And it's good for us. Stuff like this always Spurs generator sales
  2. We did have a couple strong gusts about 5:30 am, but nothing we don't see in a thunderstorm. They didn't last long
  3. 50%? that's not what we heard. And I expect the road closures. It happens here with half-assed thunderstorms because tree trimming is so limited due to complainers. I haven't had any trouble getting around this morning
  4. Sporadic areas have their issues, but not feeling what was advertised here by any means... as I knew we wouldn't. It's always the shore and hilltops FTW in these. Now, when the cold front comes through I expect more here than earlier
  5. Yes. And your main panel should ALWAYS have neutral and ground bonded
  6. Rain is letting up at the office. Waiting on the cold front later, that's when I expect more wind here
  7. Sill not much here in Sims. There was a quick intense gust about 4:30 when a thunderstorm moved through. Probably what caused the outages here
  8. How much snow did you end up with last night? I drove from Manchester CT back to Westfield MA about 7pm and the roads were slick when I got past Suffield!
  9. He's trying the 'ol DIT reverse psychology
  10. It's recommended... however most never do. I'm am electrician and never do on my own. Really if it's wired with a 4 conductor cable it's already bonded to your electrical system. Well, and wired properly. SOO many portables aren't
  11. Hilltops FTW so far, not much here in the valley yet. However enough to impair some of the decrepit power grid. The tree trimming effort around here is so useless. If there's trees 30 feet above a line, trimming the lower branches really doesn't help anything. But people violently complain when they try to remove trees
  12. About 2K out in west Simsbury. Don Tuller was on the radio.. had to leave to fire up his generator
  13. I just came down from north Canton/Granby and there's still 100 percent cover... for now
  14. This allows time for extra egg nog, the adult kind
  15. Hence why among many CT electricians... they're known as NeverSource. NOT a fun company to deal with on a business level either
