We are sure everyone is aware by now that we are expecting anywhere from 8-14” of heavy and wet snow Sunday afternoon into early Monday morning. There will also be winds from the east up to 60 mph for a short period of time.
There is the potential for some outages so plan accordingly.
Depending on how much snow we get, travel may be difficult and it may take us longer to get to the area to restore the outage. We are fully staffed and are as prepared as we can be.
Remember to always call-in outages or blinks. We will be staffing the office if we begin to experience outages. Warm your homes up ahead of the storm so you can tolerate an outage and have your phones and iPads charged.
Lastly, don’t ever approach a downed wire and report any unsafe conditions to the office or police dispatch.
