News accounts:
The October nor'easter that roared through Connecticut late Saturday [October 29] left a heavy blanket of slush and snow that downed tree limbs and power lines, wreaked havoc on the roads and cut power to more than 650,000 customers... It was the largest snowstorm in Greater Hartford history in October—dwarfing any previous storm in the region.
Source: Christopher Keating, "Another Power Hit," Hartford Courant, October 30, 2011.
It was a storm of record consequence, disrupting large swaths of the Northeast in ways large and small: towns were buried in dense snowfalls, closing down streets, schools and even, in some cases, Halloween celebrations...
People emptied stores of generators and chain saws and flocked to town halls to charge phones on emergency power. The chilled and the hungry drove miles looking for a cup of coffee, or for barbecued meat inexorably defrosting in powerless freezers. In Worcester, Mass., a wedding with cranberry dresses and flowers the colors of fall foliage ended up soggy and white. In Glen Rock, N.J., orderly suburban blocks became a maze, with fallen branches draped across nearly every street.
