We, in Southern Saratoga County only had and inch or so of sloppy snow so had no problems

Yea, we were the 1st to report an outage in our area.. power was supposto be restored weds morning.. then weds at noon.. kept pushing it back, until the last time it said friday by 6.00 pm, and it came on at 5.00... really the bad part was we were not prepared at all.. the snow blower is still down from last year with 2 broken belts ( not that it would have done much good in that snow ).. and the truck has goodyear rain tires on it... I got 4 General Grabber AT2's from tire rack, but can't have them mounted until the 5th..

and our highway dept lost power, so they had to hand crank the diesel pumps, and road conditions were not good because of there delays



as far as outages.. it was just over 4,000 for NYSEG and 2,300 for Central Hudson, not sure on National Grid's count.
