While the number of meters in Watertown spinning increased all day repair crews still have a significant number of customers in the dark tonight. In the range of 3,000, according to the National Grid website which suggests the last of them will be on Tuesday night, Christmas Eve.
The outages are scattered throughout town as well as across Jefferson County. Considerable progress was made today and I am sure many more accounts will be back on tonight and tomorrow.
The Red Cross shelter in Watertown High School is available now for those needing such a heated and safe facility. The ice storm advisory expires tonight at 11PM, but there is a continued chance of rain or snow into tomorrow.
Many are off work Monday due to the storm and Christmas preparations, so look for a busy Monday in retail.
While roads are in decent shape, many parking lots and walkways are icy and will remain so through the bitter cold on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Other utilities like cable also are having outages in areas of town.
