Another Winter Storm Hits New England

Rebecca Lavoie for NHPR

Electric utilities continue to fix power outages across northern New England as a fast moving storm is expected to drop heavy, wet snow in parts of Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire.

More than 1,400 Vermonters remained without power Sunday. The Vermont Electric Cooperative says it expects to soon restore power to 700 more customers.

Central Maine Power reported about 600 customers without power Sunday evening and Bangor Hydro Electric reports 717 outages.

A winter storm watch is in effect for much of Vermont through Monday afternoon. The forecast calls for six or more inches of heavy wet snow on the higher terrain of eastern, central and southern Vermont. Inland areas of central New Hampshire and western Maine could get 6 to 10 inches of snow while rain is forecast for coastal areas.
