Milford Fire Department Saturday Blizzard Update

Nemo Update #2

As the black of night gives way to a dark grey, swirling snow and the flashing amber lights of clean-up crews; we yawn and stretch after a long night alert for hazards. Outside of some very deep snow and rather treacherous roadways, the overnight was uneventful.This pattern appears to be common across NH.

Watching the PSNH outage list throughout the night we don’t recall seeing more than 600 customers without power in NH (seemingly quickly resolved) while MA, RI and CT are reporting over 500,000 without power and this will probably expand as crews get out there to assess.

There are some serious drifts and continued drifting out there and the NWS says to expect another 4 to 6 inches of snow from the current bands. Please avoid driving (if you can) until noon-ish based upon our current roadway conditions and expected incoming snow. Staying off the roads also gives our DPW crews the best ability to clear the roads for you.

Have a warm and safe day.
