No question. I will say this. I live in a fairly dense, wooded area. The utilities around here have been on point removing trees/branches over power lines in most of the county. This sort of thing was never done in the area 20 year ago. Yet we had less problems with power loss.
The response time is just awful now the power does go out. By some miracle we never lost power with these last 2 nor'easters. People still have no power from the first one a week ago, and are being told it could be 4-5 more days.
4,000 power trucks were brought in a week ago from around the country, and now the national guard as well. It's certainly not on the linesman who are pulling 16 hour shifts, seems like the coordination at the top was just awful.

The only 'good' thing that 'Super Storm Sandy' did to my area, was wipe out a large portion of the utility poles/lines and damage the nearest substation. They had to replace them all. Before that storm, I would lose power 3-4 times a winter for a few days at a stretch. Since then, I have not had any losses that were for more than an hour or two.

Gearing up for the 4th Nor'easter in 2 weeks. 5-8 inches of snow expected. Had our warmest December on record. Followed by the coldest January on record. Then warmest February on record. Assuming this storm dumps the expected snow, my area will be approaching 4 feet of snow for the month of March.
WTB some normal weather.

Actually going to get some snow from this one (perhaps higher than the total amount all winter), all rain / mix today but if it was 2 degrees colder it would have been another snowmageddon down here. Instead just 5-8" tomorrow.

Photo taken 5 minutes ago. Cat I let in on New Years day due to below 0 F temps that was in my workshop.
Now resides on my bed until I go to get in it. STILL have not been able to pet, or take to vet to get fixed.
Sleeps 2 feet away from me when I am on the computer.
