The storm wasn’t particularly remarkable for the number of inches of snow, but that snow was very heavy and wet—and plentiful enough to cause major damage in Lincoln and other towns by bringing down many trees and heavy limbs onto power lines and homes. Much of the snow has since dripped off the trees and many of the closed roads have reopened, but 27 percent of Eversource customers in Lincoln were without power as of 10 p.m. on Thursday—down from a 62 percent earlier in the day. The buzz of chainsaws gave way to the steady dull roar of generators as the evening closed in. Here are photos submitted by Lincoln residents on the morning of March 8, 2018.
