Storm clean-up and recovery continues. As of 8:30 A.M. the full road closure count in the Town of Greenwich was down to 14. Utility companies continue to work to remove down lines and restore service to affected areas. Please do not go near or touch any wire even if the power is off in your area. It may still be energized and cause serious injury or death.
Current forecasts call for a nor’easter to develop tonight. While we should hope for the best we should be prepared for the worst. Snow accumulations up to 12 inches, more wind, and coastal flooding are expected.
Traveling on Wednesday is expected to be hazardous due to the heavy wet and blowing snow conditions.
Crews have replaced more than 550 utility poles and strung more than 100 miles of new overhead line since the storm hit Friday. Work continues around-the-clock making the necessary repairs to get every customer back on line. If you need us, please call 1-800-286-2000. pic.twitter.com/OjAp9qlTjN
