Just got our power back, for now. It looks like about 4" so far and coming down pretty heavily.
Psyched!!!!

So, worse than Irene by me. Here's to another extended power outage. Another two of my trees just went.
We got 10" out in the blackstone valley

About 10 to 12 " in Westfield MA, lost a couple of trees, a couple sections of fence and have been without power going on 16 hours

I got about 12" here. Here's the view out of my front door:
We got 15" in Dummerston. I couldn't beleive how hard it was snowing! We lost power around midnight and it came on around noon. We helped our neighbor up there shovel out yesterday; the guy who plows our driveways didn't come by in the AM. I got a call from another neighbor (he wasn't in VT) to check on his place. We ended up going over there and draining his pipes and checking on his furnace. He couldn't make it up for 3 weeks, so I'm happy we were able to help him out.
We got back to CT a bit early last night. On a hunch, I brought back my chainsaw and gear. Good thing I did...we lost a magnolia tree in our front yard and some really big branches on two Maple trees in back. I pulled the snowblower out of the shed and it fired up first pull. My boss called and told my wife I had no work Monday...the entire town I work in is without power.
We have power at our house thankfully. From what I've heard, this is worse than Irene regarding power outtages.

Yup, as tough as it is to believe, this storm had about a 25% GREATER effect (in terms of power outtages) in CT than Irene did. One of th officials from CL&P who I heard on TV ast night said that this storm caused about "5 TIMES as many trees to come down" as Irene did

I only had around 6-7 inches in lower Westchester but we were not spared the power problems. I've ahd no power, heat or hot water since around 10pm Saturday. the good news is that the village is expected to be up by tomorrow. The bad news is that a tree directly knocked the wires off my house and I will have to wait until they fix all the main lines in the surrounding area before they wil come near me.

Not that it's safe, or what you're "supposed to do", but if you get them put back up before they notice that they're down (only if the wires are undamaged and just pulled down of course), they won't turn your connection off and you'll have power. Only if you know a reasonable amount about safety/electricity, but yeah. They're not particularly hard to reconnect/put back on your house.
