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
