Imagine waking up to a winter wonderland, only to find your power out and your morning routine in chaos. That’s the reality for many Connecticut residents today as a relentless snowstorm wreaks havoc across the state. But here’s where it gets even more frustrating: downed trees and limbs aren’t just blocking roads—they’re knocking out power for hundreds of families. According to Eversource’s Outage Report, at least 200 customers statewide were left in the dark Sunday morning, with Greenwich taking the brunt of the impact. Around 8:23 a.m., a downed tree, tangled wires, and a toppled utility pole on Pemberwick Road left 160 customers without power. Police swiftly closed the area between Glenville Road and Buena Vista Drive, but the disruption didn’t end there. While Eversource has resolved the Greenwich issue, other towns aren’t so lucky. In Bolton, 18 customers are still affected by fallen tree limbs, and 15 more in Guilford are facing similar challenges. And this is the part most people miss: with Sunday night promising even colder temperatures and gusty winds, the risk of additional outages looms large. Is Connecticut’s infrastructure prepared for such extreme weather, or are residents left to fend for themselves? As this story develops, one thing is clear: staying warm and informed is more critical than ever. Stay tuned to News 8 for the latest updates—and let us know in the comments: how are you coping with the storm’s aftermath?
