Sorry about the delay in announcing our snowfall contest winners. It's been a busy 2 days at our emergency operations center and assisting the road crew. The overall winner guessed the exact amount of 19.7 inches as measured by Russell Russ and submitted to the NWS as the official snow total from this storm. Congrats to Ray Robitaille of Winsted with his perfect guess. Coming in at a very close second is Chris Renkert with a guess of 19.5 inches. Please DM us for instructions to pick up your prize. Honorable mention goes out to Bob Gilchrist with a guess just a bit too high at 19.87 and Anita Holmes who came so close with her guess of 19.75! Thanks for playing everyone and I hope your power has been restored! Many thanks to the Berkshire Country Store and The Norfolk Library for their prize donations! ... See MoreSee Less

Wow!! What a good guess! Thank you all!!

Winter Storm Day 2, 1030 a.m. update: Currently 26% of the town (298 customers) are still without power.  There are 45+ Eversource line and tree crews working with more coming into town each hour. The biggest challenge for Eversource is access to the damaged sites with many roads still blocked by trees or the snow is too deep for the bucket trucks to get access to.  Our vigilant road crews continue to be out and opening roads up as much as they can.  We have mutual aid plow crews in town from Watertown and Thomaston to assist which should make clearing roads quicker.  We also have an official snowfall total as reported to the US National Weather Service Albany NY by Russell Russ, official weather observer.  19.7 inches was measured at the Great Mountain Forrest site.  Unofficial measurements show that North Norfolk probably received more (25+ inches) and South Norfolk a bit less.  The town transfer station will be closed today and will reopen on Saturday for normal hours. The Town Hall is open today during normal hours.

25" is definitely more accurate than the 19" that is official. At least in this part of The Ice Box
