With the second large snowfall now mostly cleared from city streets, and as a third significant storm system heads our way, Dominion has managed to restore power to roughly 35,000 homes, leaving only 2,000-5,000 in need. The local teams have tripled in size, with outside crews being brought in to sh0oulder some of the load.
The 5-10″ of ice and snow expected to start this evening around 6:00PM will most likely create further outages, and possibly delay the repairs currently underway.
Fortunately, the Downtown Mall has experienced only brief power flickers, and many bars have remained open even during the worst of it.
Customer Key: Blue circles indicate 1-50, Green 51-250. [Info]

UPDATE: This one has been downgraded as well to 3-6″ total.
When I was a kid, 3-6″ total would create havoc in Charlottesville.
We haven’t had power since Friday afternoon. REC says that there are 1400 residents still without power.
