More than 17,000 PSEG customers are coping with power outages Monday morning that spread from Montauk to Hempstead.
As of 7:20 a.m., there were 276 active outages, according to PSEG's online map.
PSEG early Monday said, “The major winter storm has arrived as predicted, with heavy snowfall overnight and strong, potentially hazardous winds continuing throughout much of today.”
The outages this morning extend literally to the tip of Long Island. PSEG maps show Montauk State Park is without power at 6:53 am, as are points west such as Great Neck Estates. Spokespeople for the utility haven't responded to requests for comment.
