About 30 cm of heavy, wet snow and ice pellets in Metro Moncton played havoc with trees and power lines in our region today.
NB Power says its crews have made significant progress restoring more than 50 per cent of affected customers since first light this morning, primarily in Fredericton, Sussex, Shediac, Moncton and Bouctouche.
The utility says it expects to have 85 per cent of customers restored by tonight – and 99 per cent restored by Friday evening.
Fredericton has been the hardest hit region and as a result the city has opened two warming centres for the night.
