Nearly 600 Still Without Power in Paramus as Athena Nears

PSE&G's latest repair plan released Wednesday shows the remaining 595 customers still left in the dark for about 10 days now as a result of Hurricane Sandy may finally have power returned before the weekend.

However many fear that the winds and snow of the projected Nor'Easter storm Athena could delay repairs and cause more power outages.

According to PSE&G the plan over the next four days involves restoring power to 66 customers Wednesday, 78 on Thursday, 94 on Friday, and 232 on Saturday. There are no specifics provided regarding which areas will be serviced first.

The weekend will mark nearly two weeks without power for those still left in the dark if power is not restored before then.

A cold and wet mix of rain and snow began to descend on the area Wednesday afternoon - the early signs that the Nor' Easter storm known as Athena is on her way.

The National Weather Service expects the storm to bring severe wind gusts and several of inches of snow to the area.

Governor Chris Christie warns that many who have had power returned may lose power again.
