Still over 10,000 on the Cape with no power. Tens of thousands more in other parts of SE Mass. NSTAR, the electric company, have said everyone should be back on by Thursday..

Lost power here last night at work. Blew some transformers when a plow hit something.
Glad the school is closed because its taken me two hours to get everything back online.
Some roads I passed on the way in this morning have still not seen a plow. Kinda messy out there.

The town has cleared some of the pavements on the main road, well down one side of the street to the cross walk, then continuing on from across the street.

Thing is, they didn't clear a way from the pavement to the road, so not much use with about a metre snowbank to climb over :/

Yes, our town has the same problem. The few pavements that are cleared enough for walking on end abruptly and then pedestrians have to scramble up & down giant snowplow-created mountains to finally be able to continue their journey in the slush zone at the side of the poorly plowed roadway. And since many of the roads are only one lane wide, if two cars try to squeeze by each other and the poor pedestrian is anywhere nearby, once again the walker has to jump into a snowbank.

At least we got a newspaper delivery this morning, the first in 4 days. No hope for the post though--still impossible for the mailman to get to many houses.
