500k people without power in Mass Lol more than 1 or 2 communities.  I swear you might possibly live in the most boring spot for exciting weather in New England. 

It's probably more like 1 million, or 1.5 million people since customers represent households. 

"Particularly when we all know it will strike one or two communities while sparing the rest of us a pedestrian ordeal."

That's one way to downplay impacts that don't affect one's backyard.

First mention of snow in my P/C forecast, And so it begins.

Saturday
A chance of rain showers before 9am, then a chance of rain and snow showers between 9am and 10am, then rain showers after 10am. High near 50. Northeast wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.

I've got to finish winterizing the boat.

Nice!  I can be there in 4-5 hours although probably add an hour for lower speeds on winding 2 lane roads..

It would be on RTE 201 off of 495, Come Jan-Feb there are sections like a wash board with the frost so yeah it will rattle your teeth ha ha.

When I’d head up from here, I’d get off 95 at the 201 interchange exit, and go through Skowhegan.  Very hairy road for sure.

Yeah its 95 once you get to thru here and its the Fairfield/Skow exit 133 to hit 201.

Once you're out of the built-up section of Skowhegan one can roll, slowing for Solon/Bingham and the nasty curves just north of the latter.  The road north of there grows some frost heaves as winter goes on but the log trucks run 70+ if the pavement isn't icy.
Some truth in the joke about the PQ driver stopped for speeding on the interstate south of WVL.  "But officer, the sign says 95 and I was only 5 mph over."  After being instructed that it was a route number not a speed limit, he added, "I'm sure glad you didn't catch me on 201!"
