The New Hampshire ice storm hits, blogging will be slow

I’ve lost power and am digging myself out of the ice storm that’s hit southern New Hampshire. I guess I’m one of the lucky ones who found a much-coveted hotel room in the city. Blogging will be slow for the time being.

If it wasn’t for the downed power lines, ice-tipped trees are strangely beautiful.

Here are updates from the New Hampshire ice storm blog thanks to the Union Leader.

Update 12/13:
I’m out of the hotel, and one of the lucky ones who has power back. Then again, I live in a relatively densely populated subdivision. The majority who live in more remote areas however, aren’t so lucky, as power outages are projected to last until the middle of next week.

The Union Leader is maintaining a Saturday storm blog, which is regularly updated.

The Red Cross needs volunteers to staff the shelters. Anyone who is willing to help in the Nashua and Milford areas are urged to call 603-889-6664.

Here are a few slideshows of the damage, one from Flickr, and other from the Union Leader.
