Long Island Snow Totals; Thousands Without Power

LONG ISLAND, NY — More than 3,600 PSEG Long Island customers were without power Thursday morning as a winter storm dropped over a half-foot of snow on parts of the island and lashed the area with wind gusts up to 50 mph.

A winter storm warning remains in effect until 1 p.m. Less than an inch of additional snow accumulation is expected.

"The bulk of the precipitation has come to an end, however the region continues to see areas of slim bands of moderate precipitation moving across portions of the area," the National Weather Service said in a forecast discussion.

As of 10:06 a.m., 3,684 PSEG LI customers are reporting power outages, according to the utility's outage map. Most of those outages are in Suffolk County.

"Our crews will continue working until all power is back on," PSEG said on its website. "We ask for your patience as crews continue to work in hazardous conditions. Please remain indoors if you see a crew working, but if you must approach them, please be sure to wear a mask and practice physical distancing."
