Post-Blizzard Outages Persist

Utility companies are busy today trying to restore power to the hundreds of customers left in the dark due to the Boxing Day blizzard of 2010. NYSEG is reporting it has restored power to more than 9,000 customers in Northern Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess Counties. About 500 remain without electricity, primarily in the towns of Lewisboro,Pound Ridge, Putnam Valley and Somers.

The utility says most customers will have power restored today, but some customers may not have power restored until early Wednesday.

Con Edison says it's making good progress restoring its customers who were left without power due to the blizzard. As of 2 p.m., the utility says it has whittled its numbers down to 145. Outages remain in the village and town of Mamaroneck, Peekskill, Yorktown, Cortlandt and Scarsdale. Con Ed says the remainder of the outages should be restored by 6 p.m. tonight.
