Poll: How Would You Rate the Storm Response of Your Utility Company?

Still without power? Lights were back on within hours? Let us know about your experience.

It’s been three days since October’s snowstorm hit, bringing with it downed trees, power lines and more. 

When it comes to electricity, NYSEG reports that as of 12:30 this afternoon, 1,174 customers are still out in Bedford, 79 in Bedford Hills and 2,845 in Katonah. 

When compared with Hurricane Irene, Jim Salmon, NYSEG’s spokesman told Patch that, "They were certainly similar in that there was a lot of damage from both," Salmon said. "This one is significant damage and a lot of road closures that are making accessibility somewhat difficult—very difficult in some cases."
