I understand that they won't go up a pole in gusts 30 or greater. So if you go out tonight, they won't even start your repair until some time on Saturday.
With 4-mph winds, Eversource just lost a line here in Woodbury, forcing a two-hour closure of Route 6 around the Southbury border.
God help us later tonight and tomorrow.
Very good point. Check to make sure you have viable exits, clear of drifting. My great aunt had a chimney fire (during a wind/snow storm) that spread to the structure of the house way back in the 1960s. She and her husband had to exit through a window.
I'm not letting myself get concerned. In almost EVERY big event, I end up with 6-12 more than forecast/modeled. I'll stick with historical precedent on this one.
