Thanks but unfortunately CL&P is just bull sh*tting everyone. They are just telling everyone Sunday but power can be restored before that. Just a way to cover their asses... I know people who they said Sunday and got power last night, so nobody really knows for sure...

yeah i know but its better than being in the dark about knowing exactly when, well literally in this situation. at least I know i can expect it before a certain time

either way this is sum bull*** cuz the traffic lights right at the end of my street are on but my whole street is still dark, wtf? So you're telling me that you can fix the light that is attached to the powerline coming down my street but cant move 10ft down and fix the big *** branch thats on top of the power line, like come on, if you're in the area do the whole job...don't half a** s***

yea i hear ya man. I have similar issues on my side as well, i just dont understand how they work...

That's good to know, Pelican. My parents are in Newtown and I don't like the idea of them huddled around the wood stove until Sunday. :shakes head:

Being without power for more than a week for the second time in two months sucks big time.

The funniest thing I saw was that the CL&P website showing their progress crashed yesterday (just like their power grid). I think the Governor is right that CT needs to develop a new policy WRT trees near powerlines.

I was visiting my parents last weekend, helping my mom to pick up her new car, and they told me a few hours after I left, that storm brewed up, and two huge tree branches fell on the driveway, right where my Z was parked.

Crisis narrowly averted. :eekdance:

They still don't have power, either. They live in the middle of nowhere, so CL&P's claim of Sunday might actually be true in their case.

i have an extra small generator if you guys want to buy it, i think i paid 246 shipped for it. it is too cheesey, wont run my furnace 1400w

Yup, thats just around the corner. Sucks for everyone and not anything anyone can do but sit and wait...

Same here, except last time was not as long for me and it wasn't as cold, so it didn't seem as bad, but this time its really bad. Luckily, I saw a CL&P truck on my street this morning when I left, hopefully I have power back on when I get back home later today.

oh, your probably going to have power when you get home. im hoping i do too, a lot of people i know are getting it back today.

Last time with Irene, i was one of the few who never lost power, so im trying not to complain too much this time, but after about 5 days of no power, sleeping in 45 degree weather bundled up in my house, im ready for it!

Amen! and you are right just called one of my friends to go check the house looks like I have power finallly :tup::happydance:

mine is up too, but no cable or internet

got cable and internet, suppost to have sunny weekend weather so depending on how i feel the Z may come out as a reward for me enduring this cold and miserable power outage :tup::driving:

Lucky you! im still in the dark :thumbsdown:

But i think im going to take the Z out also, give her a last run, fill up with gas, fuel stabalizer and give it a full wash in and out and store her away...

fairfield county has an autox sunday
