The current problems are much like what happened in a similar wet snow storm in December 1990.
That time it took 12 days to get everyone reconnected, so hopefully they do better this time!
There are a lot of wires on the ground and Rosedale, Commondale and Goathland area (at least) have similar problems.
This snippet from Northern Power Grid website is hardly inspiring.
