Remember - in November you can vote those useless assholes out of business.
Vote yes for Pine Tree Power.

The overarching reason for snowstorm power issues are trees. There are 2 solutions. First is to trim trees back from lines so that it is impossible for anything to fall on the lines. In residential areas this means a LOT of decorative trees will be gone. Or, spend a lot more money and underground the lines. Neither is cheap, neither is easy. It really doesn't matter, in the moment, who owns the lines. Storm response is a process, prioritizing different lines based on how many are downstream. They obviously want to first do the things that improve the most connections.

Reply to Alright folks, 25” since Friday another 8-12” on the horizon followed by rain. At what point should I seriously consider shoveling the roof? by [deleted]
Are you climbing on your roof or using a roof rake? How much do you weigh? It's supposed to be mid forties in a couple of days. I don't recommend climbing on your roof to shovel.

Get a percolator and a single colemen stove top burner. Will never be without coffee again. Almost a must living in maine.

They’re fucking you over now, they’ve fucked you over before, they’re never going to stop fucking you over.
So just vote them out.
They’ve spent millions of dollars pretending they’re doing what’s best for the state by just….being here and not improving a gd thing and using the excuse that “they are doing their best” while delivering record breaking profits to their shareholders while Mainers sit in the cold and dark.
Invest in Maine.
Fuck CMP.

Reply to Maybe an odd question, but anyone have suggestions for pet (cat) insurance? by flexingindisguise
First of all congratulations for getting a new family member in your home. Cats are really adorable as pets and you should definitely get a reliable pet insurance policy for your cat. Well, there are many companies around you that are offering the insurance services for pets but let me tell you only a few of them are genuine. I was scammed online while I was looking for a pet insurance policy that's why I'm suggesting you to be alert while looking for a reliable source. You can also consider a Fast ESA Letter company, I had purchased a pet insurance policy from them and trust me they are really affordable and true to their words. I'm very happy that after being so much into trouble I finally got the best Pet Insurance company for my cat 'suzy'.

I was looking forward to going to work this morning only to find a tree across the road wrapped in lines. Emergency services said it’s been there since 11pm.

Powers out: day 5/6. Generator is NOT broken. But the hook up to the home IS broken. So no heat. Partial power to run a space heater and reptile enclosure. And alas, no coffee.

A Korean heavy neighborhood but wanted something more original than "Little Korea". Dirigo is the Maine State motto.

This time we made it without losing power! I’m sorry you’re going through this, it’s so stressful in the winter. Can you get out and get a hot cup (or two) somewhere and get warm?

Reply to comment by Machined042 in The Portland area has the 8th highest percentage of second homes in the country by LuckyLaceyKS
I don’t think it’s growing because people own second homes. There’s some other factors involved.

Sorry man. The "assessing" nonsense is the pits. A few years ago I called CMP to get a tree off a line as it ran across a body of water that went to my house, it pulled it so tight I was waiting for it to hit the water. They sent a tree removal company and they got out of their trucks and laughed, got back in their trucks and didn't see anyone again for 3/4 of a year. My neighbor eventually called the cops to report it. Then it was fixed in a week. CMP customer service is trash.

City may have a set time on the ban but that doesn't mean the plow drivers have everything fully cleaned up. If you're in the way, you suffer the consequences.

This is clever. I can't figure out what Dirigo Seoul is in reference to though?

Hello fellow York county resident. There are apparently 32,000 of us without power. This is 1/4 of the total homes in York county
CMP sucks
UPDATE: Power restored at 12:20pm. CMP still sucks.
