Eversource preparing for multi-day storm restoration following powerful coastal storm with blizzard conditions
Feb 22, 2026
With heavy wet snow and high winds bringing blizzard conditions to Connecticut tonight and tomorrow, Eversource continues to closely monitor several weather forecasts and plan accordingly. The combination of heavy wet snow and strong winds can easily bring down trees and tree limbs onto power lines and equipment causing power outages. The energy company has roughly 700 crews, including outside lineworkers from NH, MA, NY, NJ and PA who will all be well prepared and in position before the storm begins. Even with precise and strategic planning and preparations, Eversource is warning customers that hazardous weather conditions will slow power restoration efforts.
