How Did The Weekend Snowstorm Affect You?
The early storm left thousands of residents without power; were you among them? Take our poll.
As late as Sunday night, thousands of Fort Lee residents remained without power after an unusually early snowstorm swept through the area Saturday, leaving downed tree limbs and power lines in its wake.
Early Sunday, PSE&G was reporting the number of customers without power in Fort Lee at between 2,001 and 5,000, but later in the day, that estimate was increased to as many as 10,000 before being lowered again.
“Because of the number of damaged trees and downed power lines, the utility is advising that full restoration may not occur until Wednesday,” PSE&G said in a statement Sunday.

Meanwhile, borough officials said Saturday that DPW crews were “working diligently to clear roadways of snow,” and with temperatures in the mid- to upper-40s Sunday and forecasts calling for highs breaking 50 on Monday, snow removal may have been the least of residents’ concerns.
Now want to hear from you. Were you among the thousands who lost power Saturday into Sunday? Is it back on, or are you still without power? What areas of town were hardest hit in your estimation? And in what other ways did the storm affect you? Tell us your story, and take our poll.
