Winter Is Here Now
Posted by Heather on January 16th, 2007
Has winter finally arrived in New Hampshire?
An ice storm that swept across the state Monday took its toll on Greater Nashua. Freezing rain weighted down tree branches, snapped power lines, and started fires, while sleet made roads slick and travel hazardous.
At one point Monday night, more than 13,000 homes and businesses in the Nashua and Milford area lost power, making it a focal point for power and emergency crews.
By 7 p.m., 24,000 homes and businesses in the state were without power, according to Martin Murray, a spokesman for Public Service of New Hampshire. An hour later, that number had been reduced to 19,700 customers, Murray said.
“It’s all a product of the weather,” Murray said of the power failures.
Yes, winter is here.
