Despite some news reports, Boston does not seem to be effected by the blackout, nor is MA in general. As I recall, there was some talk earlier this year about connecting the MA grid to the NY area grid - but that talk got stalled. I think people were worried about insufficient connectivity and resources, and getting dragged down by just the kind of scenario we're seeing right now.
