NSTAR is reporting that over 8,000 Burlington customers are without power.
Last night's October snow storm has caused wide-spread power outages throughout the area, including in Burlington, where NSTAR reports that over 8,000 customers are in the dark. The utility company has estimated that full power might not be restored for all its customers until later this week. On its web site, NSTAR said the "heavy wet snow and high winds continue to take down wires and tree limbs, which is particularly challenging this time of year when the branches are still full of leaves."
