Weather often reminds us of its destructive abilities, and just as quickly, people bounce back.

On Jan. 29–30, a powerful Nor’easter walloped East Coast states with up to 2 feet of snow. Eversource, the utility providing gas and electricity to about 4 million customers in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire, experienced severe outages. According to the company, more than 300,000 of its customers lost power—some more than once.

As of Monday, Jan. 31, the utility reported that power had been restored to all 300,000-plus customers who had suffered outages.

The company executed an “aggressive power restoration plan.” More than 1,700 crewmembers were deployed to conduct “town-by-town” restorations. The utility reports that power was restored to all its communities ahead of schedule. Many crews worked in blizzard conditions. Through mutual aid agreements, Eversource also brought in additional crew members from utilities in other states, including Michigan, Florida and California.

It helped that the utility also planned ahead. Eversource monitored the storm and implemented a preparedness plan. That involved strategic positioning of crews and supplies, including mobile response trailers, truck fleets, transformers and other equipment needed to restore power.

The storm, which was classified as a “bomb cyclone,” impacted the entire Northeast, with record-breaking snowfall, subfreezing temperatures and hurricane-force winds. The storm’s reach extended as far east as Pennsylvania and Ohio, and as far south as Florida. In addition to the power outages, thousands of flights were canceled.
