Power Outages Stall Thanksgiving Cooking in Terryville

A few turkeys in Terryville went into ovens a little later than usual this Thanksgiving. That's because the snow from the first major winter storm of the season caused a tree to collapse on Town Hill Road, falling on power lines and knocking out power to the neighborhood for a few hours.

Town Hill Road is closed in the Terryville section of Plymouth as crews work to clear the tree and wires from the roadway near 256 Town Hill Road.

While many residents had their generators ready, they said those weren't enough to get a head start on cooking Thanksgiving dinner.

"Some things won't run like the oven," Kelly Olmstead, of Terryville, said.

Others are changing their plans.

Terryville resident Jim Stowe said he was "supposed to be cookin' a turkey, but that's not happening today." Instead he said he and his family are taking his mom out for dinner.

 The Connecticut Light and Power outage map was not showing any power outages in Plymouth at 12:13 p.m.
