On Friday, Dec. 12, 2008, the Colby-Sawyer community and its neighbors across northern New England awakened to blank-faced alarm clocks and the silence that only truly falls when a power failure takes us straight from the 21st century to the mid-19th. Hours of freezing rain on Thursday weighed down power lines and trees to the breaking point, leaving roads blocked and homes cold. Public Service of New Hampshire reported more than 320,000 outages, with Colby-Sawyer among them. The college closed for the day, and later sent students home a week early. Ware Campus Center became a storm shelter, and dozens took refuge there for meals, a warm place to sleep, and companionship. Power was restored to campus Tuesday, Dec. 16, but a week after the storm, 300 New London homes were still in the dark with more snow predicted. Photos by Leon-C. Malan and Kate Seamans.
