Mine came back sometime this afternoon. School here has been canceled again for tomorrow and trick or treating in town will be on Friday night. Most of the town still has no power. I took the day off from work because school got canceled and the woman who watches my kids (before and after school) had no power either. Went to my GF in Natick who had power and grabbed a shower then took the kids to the movies. I'm back to to work tomorrow.

Hey, you've got me back! Hmm, I guess things will still be dull and boring though :smash:
Well, the only thing that has distracted me from skiing is one of our trees across the road and bountiful carnage across the rest of the property.

Still none at my house, but it looks like quite few areas in town got it back overnight.
I'm surprised I never lost power, again. this storm and Irene. (knock on wood). My office in Marlboro was without street power (they have some heavy duty generators though) for about 24 hours.

Still out...and the inside of the house is now getting colder. A lot of the meat in the freezer is still solid but another few days of this and it will have to be cooked or tossed.

3 of my 11 employees are without power still. The towns around my office that were affected (we were right on the dividing line between where the snow piled up and caused widespread damage and where it stayed a mix for a prolonged period of time and never really piled up and caused power problems) received an estimate from CL&P today of SUNDAY before power is restored and the town that my 3 employees affected live in, which was very hard hit, has yet to receive and estmate of when the power will be back on as they're still trying to get a full assesment through all the snow/downed trees and rural roads.
As much as we on AZ all love snow, I think that we can agree that to ease the work of the line crews, some melting would be a good thing so that they "only" have to deal with the downed trees and wires and not what is on many roads a deep snowpack around those downed trees and wires

Why don't you put your food in a cooler and leave it outside?
no power in my town, 96% out. no restoration estimates from cl and p. house is down to 43 degrees. going to pick up a generator in groton tonight that I pre-paid for.
however, I have managed to sample many new and exciting kinds of beer the last few days and a few of us got a babysitter and sent them over to a house with power (generator hooked into circuit breaker) so we could watch the steelers destroy the patriots.
what is amazing is watching the gas lines in rocky hill and hartford. people are freaking animals. so much for staying calm and helping each other out.

No power- no time table. We were at 100% out in town until this am when they got some to commercial routes-- gas stations and stores. Still at 91%-- and from looking around, it may take a while. Our street was never plowed due to down trees and lines, good thing it is melting.
46 degrees in house this a.m.-- chilly but not scary or uncomfortably cold-- had some friends who had no water move in and they brought their generator-- no heat, but having lights helps.

Some parts of my town are back online. The rest is supposed to be back by tomorrow and then hopefully my place will be back on line by Thursday.
Plenty of hooligans already in line this a.m. at 8:00. All are welcome.
Two vicious guard dogs on duty...a 6 month old lab (ours) and a 2 year old labradoodle (neighbors staying with us). They will lick your hand right off while you exit with the tee vees.
I'm hopeful that I have power when I return home from work in a few minutes. At the very least my in-law's got theirs back today, and that's where we've been staying. I desperately need a shower!

How did you do the hookup? Isn't the boiler hard wired?
