Stowe Electric Rides to Rescue

On Thursday, November 27, as people were hoisting turkeys into ovens or mashing potatoes, a couple of Stowe Electric Department line workers packed their gear and went to rescue New Hampshire.

 

On Wednesday night, Thanksgiving Eve, New Hampshire was pounded by a storm, and a foot of wet, heavy snow weighed down tree branches and snapped power lines.

Gov. Maggie Hassan said roughly 207,000 people lost their electricity -- the fourth-highest number in state history. New Hampshire’s population is 1.3 million.

Of those 207,000, about 22,000 can be thankful for Stowe Electric.
