Still No Power For 125K Customers In Western NY; Snow In NYC

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — Utility crews from other states and Canada are assisting efforts to restore power to more than 125,000 western New York homes and businesses still without electricity service after Wednesday's devastating windstorm.

Most of the outages Friday are in Monroe County, which includes the city of Rochester, with about 85,000 customers without power.

More than 200,000 customers lost power Wednesday when winds gusting to 70 mph to 80 mph knocked down trees and toppled utility poles across a 10-county area. Forecasters say temperatures will dip into the teens and 20s this weekend.

The National Weather Service predicts 4 to 6 inches of snow on Long Island Friday and 3 to 4 inches in New York City and the lower Hudson Valley before it tapers off in the mid to late afternoon.
