89 inches in Concord
We're wearing out shovels

The Associated Press February 27, 2008

The snowfall continued to inch its way toward record territory across parts of northern New England as yet another storm swept into the winter-weary region overnight.

The overnight snow caused power outages in many areas. Public Service Company says at the height of the problem during the night, about 10,000 homes and businesses had no power.

That number was down to about 950 around 6:30 this morning, mostly in the Monadnock Region and in the Barrington and Farmington areas. The utility hopes to get the lights back on this morning.

Concord has already set a record for the snowiest December, January and February with 89.1 inches during the period.

And in Maine, the storm kept Caribou on pace to possibly break the all-time snow record of 181.1 inches for the entire season, said Mark Turner from the National Weather Service. The city already had recorded 137.8 inches of snow before the latest storm.

Meteorologist Steve Capriola said even the tough Yankees of northern New England were getting frustrated by the wintry weather.

"People are finally getting to the point where they are saying 'Enough already. It's time to shut it off,'" Capriola said from Gray, Maine.

And there may be more on Friday and Saturday, he said. Asked if there is any end in sight, Capriola deadpanned: "June."
