On December 12, a powerful ice storm slammed into New England and the North Shore, knocking out power to over one million residents and businesses. Tell us your story! Some remained without power for over four days. Scroll through these photos for a look at some of the damage. We’d like to hear your stories from the storm. Did you lose power? Were you forced from your home? Let us know your storm stories by posting them at the bottom of this page.
And send your storm photos to us – we’ll post them right here. E-mail them to: editor@nshoremag.com.

We were out of power for 2 days! A big tree fell across our street and hit the power lines. It was very scary thinking the pipes might freeze, along with my family. I feel so bad for people who are still out, and maybe through Christmas. The things we take for granted…. Never again.
Stay warm… Happy Holidays

We were also out of power for two days, which seems minor compared to some of the horror stories I’ve been told. We stayed at the house of some gracious friends on the firt night. Ten minutes after arriving my wife’s car got hit by a neighbor. That was a fun night. We splurged on night two and got a hotel room in Wakefield. After checking in, while at the lobby bar, prior to bringing our luggage to our room, a neighbor called telling us we had power. Oh well….Happy Holidays to all.

Michaels in case they lost power and my Heineken’s got warm.

Hi this is Cody, I’m on my dad’s favorite site and I thought I would tell my story. We were out of power for a three days with no heat. I was doing my homework and my brother Kyle was walking down the stairs. All of a sudden the power went out and he fell down the stairs. He was okay though. Also two days after the power went off my Dad finally decided to work on the generator all day. As soon as he got it hooked up and ready he looked outside and our neighbors lights were on! The power just went on after his long day. It turned out to be okay and my Grammie stayed with me because her power was off in NH for 5 days.

That’s a great story, Cody. Thanks for sharing and I’m glad to hear that you’ve got power!
