Will you take a moment to thank NH's Storm Workers?

Recent ice and snow storms wreaked havoc in New Hampshire, causing massive power outages and blocking roadways.

As many of us headed indoors, dedicated public workers across the state were doing just the opposite. Utility crews and Department of Transportation workers braved the storms to restore power and clear roads for the rest of us.

These crews worked around the clock with 17-hour shifts in freezing temperatures. But as strong weather compounded existing damage, some storm workers were confronted by frustrated residents as they tried to repair roads and power lines as quickly as possible.

The last several weeks have been long and hard on many people in our community. As another round of wintry weather hits New Hampshire, it’s important that we remember the sacrifices and dedication of those working on our behalf. As these public servants take time away from their families to help ours, let’s take a moment to show our appreciation for those who are working hard when we most need them.

Thank NH's Storm Workers 

Dear NH Storm Workers, 

We appreciate your hard work and commitment to restoring power to homes and clearing roadways to get New Hampshire moving again.

We understand that many of you have worked 17-hour shifts in freezing weather for the last several weeks to reach as many of your neighbors as possible.

This has meant time away from your families during the holiday season, and patience on your part as our community grows weary and frustrated from continuing winter storms.

Though we may not always say it, your long hours and late nights do not go unrecognized. Thank you for your dedication, your extraordinary work, and for all you do!

Sincerely,
