Nearly 200,000 people in New York are without power Tuesday after a nor’easter dumped heavy snow on a large part of the state. Radar estimates show the heaviest snow fell in a swath …
Broome County, where Binghamton is located, also seemed to have the highest number of power outages being reported. According to Jason Garnar, the executive of Broome County, said the heavy snow has brought down trees and power lines across the county.
Garnar said a state of emergency has been declared, and a travel ban is in effect until crews are able to clear felled trees from roads.“We have one town that has no services at all, in the eastern part of the county,” he said. “No electricity, no cell access. They’re under a boil water alert, state of emergency, travel ban – the whole nine yards.”
“I’ve never seen this before in our county’s history,” Garnar said. “I’ve never seen so many trees down. This snow was not a bad storm – only 10/12 inches – but that snow was so heavy, it’s brought down so many trees and so many power lines down throughout our county. We’ve got probably half our county residents without power.”Garnar said Broome County is no stranger to extreme weather, but this storm feels a bit different.
