MANCHESTER, NH – With a powerful nor’easter expected to hit New England Monday night through Wednesday, Eversource is monitoring the forecast and is ready for the heavy, wet snow and strong winds that are expected to impact New Hampshire.

WKBK Meteorologist Pat Pagano warns that the region could see as much as a foot of snow with more possible in higher elevations.

Eversource is prepositioning equipment and line and tree crews at its work centers around the state to respond to any damage or outages caused by this storm. The energy company has also brought in additional out-of-state crews to assist with restoring power to customers, if needed.

In a press release, Eversource New Hampshire President of Electric Operations Doug Foley said the company has been monitoring the storm since last week.

“The heavy, wet snow and hazardous winds forecasted have the potential to bring down trees and branches onto electric lines and equipment, causing damage and power outages,” Foley said. “The hazardous conditions can also make travel challenging for our crews, so we’re staging extra staff and equipment in our work centers across the state to ensure we’re ready to respond as quickly as possible to whatever this storm brings.”

Eversource urges customers to always stay clear of downed wires, report them immediately to 911 and report any outage online at www.eversource.com or by calling 800-662-7764.

Customers who signed up for the company’s two-way texting feature can send a text to report an outage and receive outage updates as they happen.
