We got about 4 inches or so of icy snow/rain/sleet outside of Lebanon.

Hi Gypsy - From what I've read and heard, that is correct. Up here in Littleton, as far as I know, no one has had problems. Lisbon was without power at least for a little while, not sure if they still are now.

Our yard was a mess with branches everywhere. I hope the pipes don't freeze. Good luck to everyone without power - hope you found warm, dry, safe places to sleep!

NH2008 - Oh wow! You had not only the storm but a 2-year-old with the flu to contend with! Glad you have family to stay with until everything is taken care of....hope your little one feels better and nobody else in the family gets sick!

Those are beautiful pictures. I hope everyone made out alright with the storm. Please be careful with the generators,candles.oil lamps ect,if you need to use them. We all know what we sometimes read about after some of these storms.Be safe and enjoy.

i have a similiar situation nh2008, my driveway was covered in trees n branches

the annoying part is i have final papers due on monday so I had to go home to my parents house in southern ny... my landlord said she heard 2-3 days before power will be back on so i'll be here til class on monday most likely...

once i was able to get off my street rt 9 was fine... my friends in keene seem to be doing OK though... didn't hit that bad there i guess.

I am guessing it was worse in your area because Stoddard is quite a bit higher in elevation compared to Keene. I think the freezing rain event was longer lived in the higher terrain.

Nhyrnut - Are you still in Lancaster? If so, how did Lancaster fare with the storm?

Does anyone know how it's going toward restoring power in Dover? DS' family are one among many there effected. New house. They were sleeping around the fireplace last night.
