BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Thick layers of ice on top of snow left many Western New Yorkers in the dark Thursday and those power outages continued into Friday.
But as of 6 p.m. Friday, there were only a few hundred people that remained without power with the power companies saying most customers would have power restored by the end of the day.
National Grid says they handed out heaters and tarps to make sure substations don't freeze over during the winter weather. You can find that full report here.
