New England got a rare, early October snowfall last weekend. It would have been fine except that the snow was VERY wet and heavy, and all the trees still have leaves on them. That meant that the snow had something to stick to, and the trees couldn't handle the weight.

It looks like a disaster area here with downed trees and power lines. CT was hit pretty hard, but so were other New England states. I know some people here in MA just got power back this morning. I have read that CT may not have power restored in some places until this weekend.

Neighbors are looking out for each other, and friends are offering friends warm homes and showers if they have power. The roads should be primarily passable at this point, so not entirely sure about the trapped part, but can confirm the lack of power/heat.

I was lucky, and only lost power for 34 hours - this time. Hope she gets it back soon!
