Snow Storm Leaves Thousands Without Power
WEST VIRGINIA....
As the result of a winter storm that dumped nearly 30 inches of snow in portions of West Virginia, thousands of customers are experiencing another round of power outages. The bulk of Saturday's outages are in West Virginia's higher elevations and in the Eastern Panhandle...while Appalachian Power reports about 5,000 customers are without power in West Virginia. Allegheny Power reported 37,000 customers still without power Sunday, including more than 6,000 customers in Monongalia County and another 4,000 in Marion County. At the height of the storm, Allegheny was dealing with more than 90,000 outages. The heaviest show accumulations range from over a foot in Morgantown to more than two feet in the Eastern Panhandle.
