Nearly half a million customers still in the dark

Forecasters warning of yet another nor’easter early next week.

Nearly 500,000 customers from Maryland to Maine were still in the dark Friday morning, growing increasingly angry – even outraged – with utility crews struggling to restore service after the latest nor’easter.

Some of them, without electricity, heat, or lights for the eighth straight day, were warned that power may not be restored until the end of the weekend.

Wednesday’s deadly storm dumped more than 2 feet (60 cm) of snow in some areas.

Update: 280,000 residents and businesses still without power

10 Mar 2018 – Utility crews are still working to clear downed trees and power lines and restore electricity to hundreds of thousands of customers in the Northeast.

The heavy, wet snow from the this week’s latest nor’easter pulled down trees, branches and power lines, leaving millions in the dark.

Some forecasts call for yet another system to move up the coast on Monday. However, the European model has the storm veering off in a different direction.
