Pockets of Roseville are experiencing power outages this morning in the wake of  Tuesday evening's snowstorm.

In a statement on its web site, Xcel Energy  said, " We are experiencing widespread power outages in Minnesota, especially in the metro area, due to winter weather conditions. As of 7 am on Wednesday, February 29th, we expect most customers experiencing outages to have their service restored by noon today.

"As the storm continues, new outages are possible and this restoration estimate could change."

Roseville residents like Mark Fotsch are feeling the aftermath of the storm. "Our power lines are about to break," Fotsch, who lives on the 1800 block of Lydia Avenue, said before 8 a.m. today. "Lights are flickering in house."
