The strong storm that has affected the northeastern US this week has caused minimal problems for most dairy farmers in that region. Forecasts of the storm ahead of time allowed milk producers and haulers to reroute their trucks around the areas with the worst hazards, and the few dairies that experienced power problems had generators to provide back-up power. They also benefited from a storm path farther to the east than originally forecast, which concentrated the heaviest snows along the East Coast rather than farther west into western Massachusetts and New York.
