Eversource Warns Power Restoration Could Take Days After Blizzard

Eversource says hazardous blizzard conditions across Connecticut could slow power restoration and lead to outages lasting several days. Heavy, wet snow and strong winds are expected to bring down trees and power lines, while deep snow and poor visibility may limit crews’ ability to reach damaged equipment. The utility had about 700 crews staged ahead of the storm, including out-of-state lineworkers, but warns response times will be affected by safety concerns. Customers are urged to prepare for possible outages and stay clear of any downed power lines.
