There are power outages in several areas. I had no power on Bear Island when I got out there on Saturday. I called NH Electric Coop, spoke to somebody there, they were unaware power was out. They told me they will not send anyone out until the ice is at least 12" thick and safe enough for their crews. He estimated that maybe by next weekend they may be able to get out there and restore power, it all hinges on how safe they feel the ice is.

Far as the power being out on Bear Island, my guess is that this is a partial outage because last night the light at the postoffice was on, taking a sled ride around the island there was somebody home down on the south part with their place lit up. Not sure if they like I were on generator power or what. So just be aware that part of the island is in the dark so if you're headed out there be prepared.

Beautiful weekend though other than that.
