As you might have heard Connecticut was hit by a wild storm on Saturday Night which knocked out power to 90% of the state.

Our area where we live was one of the worst hit areas, with the destruction looking like a war zone.

Because of the lack of power our Uplink Center Processing computer is unable to run and report on the uplinks so uplinks will be unavailable until power is restored.

Current ETA on getting power back appears to be around Saturday, but it might be longer.

I appologize for the issue.
 
Here are some pictures from my neighborhood and of my house. (The DISH Farm seems to have survived) :)

Scott, we can all wait for an uplink. Glad to hear you and your family are safe. The snowstorm, thankfully. wasn't as bad by me as Irene was - I never lost power, unlike the almost 48hrs without power after Irene.

For those of you not in the areas of the country typically hit by snows, the main issues with this storm are the fact that it took place in October, when trees still have plenty of leaves, and the fact it was a very heavy wet snow, with, if you will, more concentration of water per unit of snow, if you will, than the typical fluffy snow we usually get in January/February in NE US. The 2 combined make for all the huge limbs and branches breaking, not to mention the actual trees falling for not being able to stand to all the wet snow (which later, frozen) on their leaves.
 
I'm sure not looking forward to winter this year.
I am - another predicted above average temp, below average precip winter! Not good for farmers who need the snowpack to melt for irrigation water or moisture to keep the trees in the forests from being tinderbox dry, but awesome for me! Northern U.S. may get whacked yet again with storms this winter since they are avoiding us in parts of the southern U.S.
