General Narrative Information
AP, Oct 30: “….From Maryland to Maine, officials said it would take days to restore electricity, even though the snow ended Sunday.
“The storm smashed record snowfall totals for October and worsened as it moved north. Communities in western Massachusetts were among the hardest hit. Snowfall totals topped 27 inches in Plainfield, and nearby Windsor had gotten 26 inches by early Sunday.
“It was blamed for at least 11 deaths, and states of emergency were declared in New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and parts of New York….
“Vaccaro, the weather service spokesman, said the snowstorm “absolutely crushed previous records that in some cases dated back more than 100 years.” Saturday was only the fourth snowy October day in New York’s Central Park since record-keeping began 135 years ago.
“There usually isn’t enough cold air in the region to support a nor’easter this time of year, but an area of high pressure over southeastern Canada funneled cold air south into the U.S., Vaccaro said. That cold air combined with moisture coming from the North Carolina coast to produce the unseasonable weather….
“Storm-related traffic accidents also killed people in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island. A New Jersey man died Saturday in a house fire sparked by a downed power line, and a man in Springfield, Mass., was electrocuted by downed wires….” (Associated Press. “Freak Nor’easter storm blamed for 11 deaths.” 10-30-2011.)
Reuters, Oct 31: “The storm that raged from West Virginia to Maine ended late Sunday and was blamed for at least eight deaths, most of them on slippery roads, some barricaded to steer traffic away from downed trees and live power lines. Ghost and goblin decorations were blanketed with record-breaking snow, the heaviest 32 inches measured in the Western Massachusetts town of Peru, according to the National Weather Service. Just 45 minutes northwest of New York City, in West Milford, New Jersey, 19 inches of snow fell….
“Across the Northeast more than 2.2 million customers remained without power on Monday morning….
“In New Jersey, PSE&G was relying on help from utility crews traveling from Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi to help restore power to some of their thousands of customers who were out.
“The breakdown of the massive outages includes: nearly 750,000 customers still without power in Connecticut; nearly 525,000 in Massachusetts; more than 360,000 in New Jersey; around 220,000 in Pennsylvania; about 128,000 in New York; just over 200,000 in New Hampshire; about 21,000 in Maine and about 1,700 in Rhode Island.” (Reuters. “Northeast snowstorm cuts power to millions, delays Halloween fun.” 10-31-2011.)
LA Times, Nov 1: “Repair crews across the Northeast were making progress Tuesday in restoring power cut by an unusually early snowstorm, but about 1.9 million people remained without electricity — including almost half of Connecticut. As of 8 a.m., the number of people without electricity was down from a peak of 2.4 million earlier in the week, a spokeswoman for the federal Department of Energy said in a telephone interview. The worst hit state was Connecticut, with about 757,000 customers without electricity, she said.
“In all, more than 20 deaths have been reported in five Northeast states and one in Canada from the weekend storm that in some areas dumped up to 30 inches of wet, heavy snow. Many trees still had bright, autumn leaves when the snow hit, snapping limbs and taking down power lines.
“Areas with large concentrations of people and trees, such as Connecticut, bore the brunt of the power outages, as it did when Tropical Storm Irene swept through the region two months ago….
“According to the Department of Energy spokeswoman, New Jersey, with about 388,000 people still without power, was second-hardest hit by the outages. But its numbers were sharply down from the nearly 700,000 once affected.
“Massachusetts had 344,000 without power, followed by New York with 179,000, Pennsylvania with 167,000, New Hampshire with about 146,000, West Virginia with about 2,900, Maine with 2,200 and Maryland with about 1,400, the spokeswoman said. Vermont and Rhode Island had service fully restored to the 7,500 and 20,000 customers, respectively, who lost power in the storm.” (L.A. Times. “1.9 million still without power after storm; death toll hits 20.” 11-1-2011.)
WSJ, Nov 1: “A state-by-state look at some of the effects of the late October storm that shocked the Northeast during the weekend with up to 32 inches of snow. About 1.6 million people were still without power Tuesday, and at least 25 deaths, including one in Canada, were blamed on the storm through traffic accidents, electrocutions or other causes.” (Wall Street Journal. “A state-by-state look at effects of Oct. snowstorm.” 11-1-2011.)
CNN, Nov 2: “By early Wednesday, about 178,000 people in New Jersey and 573,000 others in Connecticut remained without power, according to the states’ utility companies. In Massachusetts, about 228,000 were in the dark while thousands also lost power in New Hampshire, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia, according to power companies in those states. Elsewhere, about 63,000 customers were without power in Pennsylvania and 105,000 were affected in New York.
“President Barack Obama has signed an emergency declaration for New Hampshire and Connecticut, clearing the way for federal aid to supplement state and local response efforts.
“Authorities reported at least 15 deaths blamed on the storm, including three in Massachusetts, four in New Jersey and another four in Connecticut.” (CNN. “States scramble to restore power after snowstorm.” 11-2-2011.)
Connecticut
AP, Oct 30: “South Windsor, Conn. — When winter’s white mixes with autumn’s orange and gold, nature gets ugly. A freak October nor’easter knocked out power to more than 3 million homes and businesses across the Northeast on Sunday in large part because leaves still on the trees caught more snow, overloading branches that snapped and wreaked havoc. Close to 2 feet of snow fell in some areas over the weekend, and it was particularly wet and heavy, making the storm even more damaging….
“More than 800,000 power customers were without electricity in Connecticut alone — shattering the record set just two months ago by Hurricane Irene. Massachusetts had more than 600,000 outages, and so did New Jersey — including Gov. Chris Christie’s house. Parts of Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, New York, Maine, Maryland and Vermont also were without power….
“Thirty-two shelters were open around the state, and Malloy asked volunteer fire departments to allow people in for warmth and showers. At least four hospitals were relying on generators for power….” (Associated Press. “Freak Nor’easter storm blamed for 11 deaths.” 10-30-2011.)
AJC, Oct 31: “Connecticut: More than 750,000 customers still without power, down from more than 830,000, a number that broke the state record set by the remnants of Hurricane Irene in August. At least two deaths. Communications disrupted because of damage to hundreds of cell phone towers. Passengers stranded for seven hours or more on tarmac at Hartford’s airport after being diverted from New York-area airports.” (Atlanta Journal Constitution. “A state-by-state look at effects of Oct. snowstorm.” 10-31-2011.)
Boston Herald, Oct 31: “Hartford, Conn. — State police report a second death in Connecticut related to the weekend’s rare October snowstorm. Spokesman Lt. Paul Vance said Monday that the fatality occurred due to a crash on Interstate 91 in the Hartford area. No details were available Monday morning.
“One person was killed Saturday in a crash on Route 85 in Colchester. The snowstorm caused at least 12 deaths in the states where it struck.
“Connecticut Light and Power reported Monday that about 750,000 customers were without power, down from more than 830,000. The utility says it has more than 300 crews working to restore power and plans to add 450 crews from out of state. Spokesman Al Lara told Fox Connecticut News that downed trees are slowing the work. The United Illuminating Co. reported about 8,600 customers without electricity.” (Boston Herald. “Police report 2nd death in Conn. Due to Oct. Storm.” 10-31-2011.)
Journal Inquirer, Nov 7: “Two people died in storm-related incidents Sunday — one was hit by a tree, and another was run over by an excavator, officials said. The deaths bring the number of fatalities statewide from storm-related injuries to 10. In Selden Neck State Park in Lyme, a 53-year-old Essex woman was killed and a 59-year-old man from Old Lyme injured when a tree fell on their tent, officials said. Four other campers nearby weren’t injured when the tree fell. Camping season ended Sept. 30 on the Connecticut River island, accessible only by boat. The woman’s name wasn’t released. Also Sunday, a man died when he was run over by an excavator clearing trees from a road in Lisbon. Police said a construction crew clearing a sight line started to remove a tree and Charles Wojtkun, 64, was pinned against the tree and run over.” (Journal Inquirer, Manchester, CT. “Death toll from storm rises to 10.” 11-7-2011.)
Reuters, Oct 31: “….Connecticut Governor Malloy said 100 state roads were closed and about 200 more partially closed….
“Connecticut was particularly hard-hit and Malloy called the power outages in his state the worst in history. He said roughly 8,000 United Illuminating Company customers without power should be restored by the end of Monday. Once that restoration is complete, the company said it will release crews to assist CL&P with restoration efforts in other parts of the state where around 740,000 customers were still without power.

WSJ, Oct 31: “In Connecticut, the governor said one person died in a Colchester traffic accident that he blamed on slippery conditions.” (WSJ. “Storm closes…schools…Northeast.” 10-31-2011)
WSJ, Nov 1: “About 678,600 Connecticut electricity customers remained without power Tuesday. Gov. D. P. Malloy says several out-of-state utilities have not kept their promises to send crews to help. He called on the U.S. Department of Energy to intercede, and the agency says more assistance is headed to Connecticut and surrounding states.” (Wall Street Journal. “A state-by-state look at effects of Oct. snowstorm.” 11-1-2011.)
AP, Nov 2: “Hartford, Conn…. Jeffrey Butler, president of Connecticut Light & Power Co., joined Gov. D. P. Malloy at a news conference. Butler says the company is still on track to fix 99 percent of the remaining outages by Sunday. The 110 extra crews will be joining about 1,040 people who are currently working to restore power across the state. CL&P’s peak outages during and after the storm hit a record of around 830,000, but Butler said about 955,000 homes and businesses — about 77 percent of the company’s total customers — were affected at some point….
“Malloy, meanwhile, said storm-related deaths in the state increased to six, after a 29-year-old woman was found dead of apparent carbon monoxide poisoning Tuesday night in a Bloomfield home where an unventilated generator was found running the basement.” (AP. “CL&P expects power to be restored to up to 150,000 customers in 24 hours…” 11-2-2011)
Hartford Courant, Nov 2: “There have been seven storm-related deaths in Connecticut since the October snowstorm cut power to hundreds of thousands of residents.
“West Hartford: Ida Schaechter, 78, was killed and her husband hospitalized after a fire at a home at 4 High Wood Road Tuesday night. Firefighters said there was no power on in the home at the time of the fire. The couple may have been using an alternative means to heat their home, which may have caused the fire, firefighters said. The cause of the tire remains under investigation. Fire officials said it originated in the room with the fire place.
“Bloomfield: A 29-year-old woman found dead at a home on Harding Avenue Tuesday night may have succumbed to excessive levels of carbon monoxide, police said. Police officers found the woman while conducting a welfare check at 11:12 p.m. at 22 Harding Avenue. The source of the carbon monoxide is believed to be a generator found in the basement of the home, police said.
“Sharon: Richard S. Rothschild, 85, was found dead Tuesday afternoon of apparent carbon monoxide poisoning. A neighbor called 911 at about 1 p.m. reporting that his neighbor was unconscious in his home at 175 Knibloe Hill Road, and Sharon firefighters, ambulance volunteers and state police responded. The man was declared dead at the scene. State police said the CO came from a generator that was supplying power to Rothschild’s home. The exhaust pipes were properly vented, but a broken muffler caused CO to fill the house, police said.
“Enfield: The cause of death of a woman in her 80s Tuesday morning is under investigation, but police said there were high levels of carbon monoxide found inside the home where she was staying. Shortly after 7 a.m., police said they received a 911 call from a family member of the woman who reported there was an unresponsive person inside a home at 40 Ohear Ave. Two other occupants of the home, later identified as the woman’s husband and son, were treated for carbon monoxide poisoning at a local hospital and released, police said.
“Enfield: Christopher A. Noyes, 43, died Monday evening after he lost control of the ATV he was driving and collided with a low-hanging wire. Police responded to the accident on Hebron Road shortly after 7 p.m. Monday.
“Hartford: Alan Sheppard, 32, of Vine Street in Hartford was killed on Sunday after he thrown from his Acura after it went off of southbound I-91 just before the Airport Road exit. The car went down an embankment and Sheppard was thrown from the car and killed, state police said.
“Vernon: Linda Peddle, 51, died Saturday afternoon along Route 85 in what state police describe as a weather-related accident. Peddle was taken to Marlborough Clinic for treatment, but died of her injuries. She was driving a Nissan Altima that collided with a Ford Ranger pickup truck along Route 85 near Niles Road at about 1:45 p.m. Saturday.” (Hartford Courant. “7 Storm-Related Deaths in Connecticut.” 11-2-2011.)
Hartford Courant, Nov 2: “There have been eight storm-related deaths in Connecticut since the October snowstorm cut power to hundreds of thousands of residents….
“East Hartford: Police are investigating the death of a young woman who might have died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Lt. Curt Stoldt said the woman was found in her apartment on Burnside Avenue on Wednesday before noon. “It appears that she was using charcoal to heat food in her home,” he said. The woman’s name has not been released because police have not yet notified the family….
“Enfield: Mary J. Guerriero, 87, was found dead at a home on Ohear Avenue Tuesday morning. A spokeswoman with the medical examiner’s office said she died of carbon monoxide poisoning and that her death was an accident.

Massachusetts
Boston Globe, Oct 31: “One person has died and eight people have been rushed to hospitals after dangerous levels of carbon monoxide built up in their homes in recent days, a danger that State Fire Marshall Stephen D. Coan said today is wholly preventable. Coan said power outages caused by the pre-Halloween storm led some people to fire up generators with inadequate ventilation or try to find an alternative method to heat their house, turning the stove on, for example….
“In Springfield, six residents were hospitalized at the Bay State Medical Center for carbon monoxide poisoning Sunday night after lighting two charcoal grills inside their home….
“In Hatfield, a man died due to an inadequately ventilated generator, Governor…Patrick said at a news conference today. More details were not immediately available.
“In the town of Sunderland, two people were “breathing but unresponsive’’ when fire and police officials found them inside their apartment in the Squire Village apartment complex on Amherst Road, said Police Chief Jeffrey Gilbert. He said firefighters discovered the residents had been using a charcoal grill, although he said it was not clear if they were using it for heat or for cooking….” (Boston Globe (Lutz and Ellement). “After one death, officials warn of carbon monoxide dangers.” 10-31-2011.)
WCVB TV5 Boston, Oct 31: “Boston — The October snowstorm that swept through Massachusetts over the weekend is now being blamed for three deaths, and hundreds of thousands of residents are still without power because of downed trees and wires, although the governor and at least one utility company president said half of those without electricity should have it back by the end of the day.
“The October snowstorm that swept through Massachusetts over the weekend is now being blamed for three deaths, and hundreds of thousands of residents are still without power because of downed trees and wires, although the governor and at least one utility company president said half of those without electricity should have it back by the end of the day. ‘I would urge people without lights and heat to consider staying with friends and family that do or go to an emergency shelter for a short while,’ said State Fire Marshal Stephen D. Coan said. “We have already had several instances of carbon monoxide poisoning from using generators incorrectly.”
“An elderly Luneberg woman was killed in a fire on Sunday, and Jeffrey Mattarazzo, 20, of Springfield, was electrocuted when he touched a guardrail electrified by a downed wire.
“Meanwhile, 1,300 people were in 38 shelters set up around the state because of the power outages caused by the storm, which dumped up to 30 inches of snow in some areas. At the Fitchburg Senior Center, volunteers said they had 12 people spend the night and more were coming in to get warm and have a hot meal on Monday. “We are asking that everyone be patient. The crews are making progress,” said Gov. Patrick. “It’s going to be a house by house, block by block kind of response.”
“Patrick said there are still 500,000 people without electricity in the state, a number that was down by about 23 percent overnight from a peak of about 700,000 on Sunday, and he said at least half of those should have power restored by the end of the day Monday. The governor said about 1,500 utility company crews have fanned out across the state trying to restore power and there should be 2,000 by Tuesday. Marcy Reed, Massachusetts National Grid president, said although half should have power restored by Monday, many others likely won’t have it back until at least Thursday….
Unitil said it brought crews in from Michigan, Pennsylvania and Canada helping out, but it’s been slow going. The company said it was prepared for the storm and did expect the damage it caused. “We had a lot of people ready to go. We were very concerned when we saw the kind of snow totals that were coming in from this event. Even a few inches of the kind of wet, heavy snow that we were expecting can cause trouble,” said Unitil’s Alec O’Meara….
“It may be several days before power is completely restored, according to the governor. Utilities are prioritizing who gets power back by addressing town commercial centers first, then schools and public health facilities.
“More than a dozen school districts canceled classes Monday after the storm and many communities, from Worcester to Lowell and beyond, postponed or canceled trick-or-treating because of downed wires and a lack of electricity.

Boston Globe, Nov 1: “Palmer, Mass. – The state fire marshal says two people are dead in Palmer in what is believed to be carbon monoxide poisoning caused by attempts to heat their home after losing power during the weekend snowstorm. Massachusetts Fire Marshall Stephen Coan says the victims died Tuesday afternoon in Palmer’s section of Bondsville.
“That raises the number of deaths related to the storm to five. Others victims include a woman who suffered carbon monoxide poisoning after turning on a propane heater to warm her home in Hatfield and a Lunenburg resident whose home caught fire while either trying to light it using a candle or attempting to use a fireplace to generate heat. A Springfield resident was also electrocuted after stepping on a downed power line.

CBS3Springfield, Nov 2: “Springfield, MA (WSHM) — Thousands of carbon monoxide calls have been coming in Massachusetts fire departments around the clock. Thousands of people are still without power and are improperly heating their homes. There have been four deaths in four days all because of carbon monoxide poisoning. Officials say it’s because residents aren’t using alternative heaters correctly. Many have been rushed away by ambulance because they were exposed to too much CO. And officials say it’s because people are heating their homes with the gas stove turned on, portable propane heaters or generators.
“But propane heaters have proven to be the most deadly so far. Officials say they’ve caused three of the four carbon monoxide related deaths this week. Officials say Tuesday’s victims, a man and a woman found dead in Bondsville, thought the heater was safe because it says it can be used indoors on the warning tag. Officials say the two died because there was no ventilation to get rid of the silent killer. Fire officials say propane heaters should be used inside only if construction is being done inside an open, well-ventilated building.
“Wednesday a man in Worcester died in his home. Officials say he had carbon monoxide poisoning because he was running a generator from inside the house….” (CBS 3 Springfield. “Staying Warm and CO Free.” 11-2-2011.)

Philly.com, Nov 1: “Pompton Lakes, N.J. — The rare October snowstorm that cut power to hundreds of thousands of residents in North Jersey clobbered communities still recovering from flooding two months ago caused by Hurricane Irene, leaving homeowners exhausted and demoralized. In Pompton Lakes and neighboring Wayne, many said they only returned to their homes in the last two weeks. Several families spoke of having just done their first major food shopping since Irene – food that was rotting in freezers without power….
“Saturday’s nor’easter forced the closure of dozens of schools and left about 400,000 customers still without electricity Monday afternoon. Gov. Christie said utility damage was worse than that caused by Irene, which left one million customers without power. The governor said 95 percent of power should be restored by Thursday….
“The power outages forced some to take refuge in makeshift shelters, including one in the gymnasium at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Hackensack….
“At least two storm-related deaths were reported in North Jersey over the weekend, one in a house fire caused by a downed power line, another in a car crash.
“The governor and his family were among those who lost power. The lights went out around 3 p.m. Saturday at Christie’s Mendham home and weren’t restored until about 7:30 p.m. Sunday.

AP, Oct 30: “Five people died in Pennsylvania because of the storm, two each in car accidents in suburban Philadelphia.

Chicago Sun Times, Oct 31: “Allentown, Pa. — The massive late-October snow storm that dumped more than a foot of snow in some parts of Pennsylvania is being blamed for at least six deaths in the commonwealth, where more than 200,000 customers were without power three days after flakes started falling — and could still be in the dark until the middle of the week.
“School districts in a swath of central and northeastern Pennsylvania closed Monday morning as residents dug out from an unusually early pre-Halloween snow storm. Some closures could be attributed to power problems, particularly in the Lehigh Valley, where PPL Corp. reported a large number of its 120,000 outages.
“In Allentown, downed tree branches littered countless yards and residents girded for a potentially long haul without power….
“Sixteen inches of snow fell in Huffs Church, Berks County and Springtown, Bucks County. Fourteen inches fell in Salisbury Township, Lehigh County, according to the National Weather Service. Locations in Monroe and Carbon counties also saw more than a foot of snow.
“PPL spokesman Michael Wood said the storm presented an enormous challenge for utility crews because of the huge number of individual cases of trouble — 3,900, about 700 more cases than PPL handled during Irene. He said 560 transformers were damaged, each serving an average of four customers. “We have a tremendous amount of work to do throughout the week,” he said.
With downed trees hindering access to some areas, PPL used a helicopter on Sunday and Monday to survey the damage. Between the damage caused by Irene, Lee and now the October snowstorm, “it’s been a year most people in the utility business can’t recall for a long, long time,” Wood said.
“Authorities attributed six deaths to the storm, including a man killed when a large, snow-laden tree fell on his house near Reading.
“Five other people were killed in car crashes. Police said icy conditions led to a crash on Interstate 95 that killed two people on Sunday and treacherous conditions were also cited in a pair of fatal crashes Saturday in Bucks and Monroe counties.” (Chicago Sun-Times. “200K without power in Pa, 6 dead after snow storm.” 10-31-2011.)
Morning Call, Oct 31: “Saturday’s rare October snow storm is being blamed for the deaths of an Alburtis teen killed Sunday while riding an all-terrain vehicle and possibly an Emmaus man who may have succumbed to carbon monoxide poisoning while heating his home with a charcoal grill Sunday. The Lehigh County Coroner’s Office identified the victim of the ATV accident in North Whitehall Township as 17-year-old Tyler Stair and possible carbon-monoxide poisoning victim as Munir Kermalli of the 400 block of E. Harrison St.
“State police in Bethlehem said Stair slid on the wet road and crashed down an embankment near the 200 block of Woodbine Street between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The coroner’s office said he died from traumatic positional asphyxia as a result of the ATV landing on top of him….
“Lehigh County Emergency Management Agency made a storm report to the National Weather Service about the Emmaus death. The report said one person was killed and another injured probably as a result of using a charcoal grill for heat.
“Other deaths in the region also have been attributed to the storm.
“In Berks County, an 84-year-old man was killed Saturday afternoon while napping in his living room recliner when a large tree fell on his home north of Reading in Alsace Township. Charles L. Loder died instantly, of massive blunt force trauma, state police said.
“In Monroe County, police investigated two fatal accidents Saturday, but the coroner’s office said a crash on Interstate 80 Saturday night was not related to the storm.
