No power for two weeks after Bob and it was fine, though we drove home where there was power , twice. When i lived in NH I lost power for 8 days in February 2010? 2011? With the 75mph winds. that was worse as it was fairly cold (though probably AN). No big deal once you adjust to roughing it.
one of my favorite nearly forgotten storms was March 05? Flash freeze and whiteout for a few hours behind a bombing low. There was only 3-6" in ene perhaps but it fell in ~3 hours. Mini dec 05
Similar boat...before my back and hip injuries, as well as a 2nd operation on my right leg, I was hitting over 300 with a cheap steel taylor made. Hoping to play a little this year, though it's been around 10 years.
I forgot how late it was, it seemed to be just before sunset in SE MA. I think what helped at the time was the sun was setting, not sure it would have snowed a few hours earlier.
