Snow Causing Problems
The snow is causing a number of problems in the region.
Most of Cameron County has been without power all day. Allegheny Power crews are working to restore it.
Tri-County Rural Electric tells us about 2,000 customers are without electricity because heavy snow brought trees down onto power lines. It may be 6 to 8 hours before power is restored to some areas.
The National Weather Service says Coudersport got about 5 ½ inches of snow.
The Bradford area is experiencing intermittent interruptions in power. Because of that, Zippo has cancelled its second shift for tonight.
But some people don't have power at all.
Penelec reports outages in Lewis Run, Eldred, Smethport, Kane, Ludlow, Rew, Port Allegany, Westline, Clarendon, Russell, Warren, Ulysses and Galeton. There's no word on when power will be restored.
National Grid says about 500 customers in the towns of Olean and Cold Spring are without power. It should be restored sometime this afternoon.
Trees and power lines are down all over the Twin Tiers.
In Smethport behind Costa's, a tree came down on top of power lines and caught on fire.
On Minard Run Road, snow brought power lines down and they were blocking the road.
The snow has also made ramps and overpasses on highways slippery.
On Interstate 86 in the Town of Poland, a woman was hurt when her vehicle went out of control on an overpass due to slippery conditions.
Sheriff's deputies say a car driven by 33-year-old Laurie Hind of Randolph hit a guiderail at about 8 o'clock this morning. She was taken to WCA Hospital in Jamestown for treatment of back pain.
