    Snow blowers will sell good this year...
    I got to see a sneak peek of the sweet shirts and the snow should be gone with the weather in the 50s all week.
    See you guy there

    a lot of the state is out of power right now and blacked out. most of the snow should melt by this weekend. I'd try contacting the park and ask them what their power situation is

    We don't us any power from the park
    So that would have no difference to any one selling or buying
    Sunday is a long way from now all power should be back and most if not all the snow should all be a thing of the past

    Is there a website for this swap meet? I'm heading to westchester county, NY this weekend to work on my '54. Might swing by there and see if there are any good parts deals.

    After this past weekend I think that whole area got a lot of snow.

    The temperatures won't help either this time of year.

    i just read about the swap that things could be kept in a lighted lot so i figured electricity would be a must. our town isnt even on the projected list for power recovery that is up (and that runs through sunday). We aren't expecting power until next week. the good news is the weather is supposed to be int he 50's and sunny through the weekend. the snow will be gone.

    My son is on a tree removal crew, and he heard that area of CT was hit hard. Where are the local hambers for an update ?

    Many other areas still have roads blocked by trees and wires, many areas are hard to find gas.

    Sae on the news that CL&P is using the parking lot there as a staging area for the
    contracted crews they are bringing in, I live in the next town over- got about 8 inches but would guess that it is 60% melted already. There is still a lot of power outages
    around here- many gas stations closed due to no power and others running out so
    plan ahead for gas. The southern and eastern parts of the state were not hit as bad
    so you can find gas there and there are open stations along the parts of 84 I have traveled. I plan to go Sunday Jim
