Bangor Hydro began gearing up for the storm several days ago, with additional crews and Customer Service Center staff placed on standy-by. Snow isn't expected to contribute to power outages today, but the strong winds are expected to cause the most damage. Customers are reminded to avoid coming in contact with power lines and trees touching them. Generators and alternate heat sources should be used in accordance with manufacturer's guidelines. | |

| Estimated Time of Service Restoration: | Crews will work to restore power to csustomers as quickly as possible, but continued winds will cause additional power outages and delay restoration time. | |
