Update: Long Wait For Power Over, for Most

Update, Dec 28, 4:45 p.m.: Power has been restored to all but two Bayside homes, according to Con Edison.

Update, Dec 27, 4:50 p.m.: Con Edison is waiting for snow to be cleared by the city to restore electricity to approximately 80 Baysiders. Power returned to most homes, after an outage some time around 1 a.m. on Monday that affected some 800 people in the area, according to Councilman Dan Halloran, R-Whitestone. 

"I've called the mayor's office and I've asked them to prioritize [plowing] into the district where these homes are," said Halloran.

Two snow plows were reported stuck in his councilmanic district—one while it was trying to clear  the way for a snow-jammed bus in Whitestone.

Estimates of when power is to be restored to Baysiders in the dark remain at 6 p.m. Tuesday, according to Halloran.

 An estimated 80 Con Edison customers out of power in Bayside may have to wait until tomorrow night to again flick on the lights.

The largest cluster of outages, affecting two locations and an estimated 79 people, is at the intersection of 36th Ave. and 219th St.

Con Edison estimates that power will be restored to that location at 6 p.m. on Tuesday.

Councilman Dan Hallaran, R-Whitestone, reported that he was working with Con Edison to restore power to Baysiders, and neighboring Whitestone, which is also experiencing outages.
