Xcel Energy is reporting that over 7,000 customers have been impacted by Friday’s snowstorm. There are over 350 outages in total, worse in areas where it snowed more. As of 9 a.m. nearly 5,000 customers were still without power.
The most major of these outages was affecting 2,831 customers in Evergreen and Kittredge. Crews are still assessing the damage and it is unknown when power could be fully restored. Over 2,000 of the customers impacted have had power restored.
Denver has several outages affecting over 50 customers, mainly centered around Capitol Hill due to downed trees taking power lines with them.
There are nearly 500 without power in Wheat Ridge and another 500 in Lakewood.
Other clustered areas with large loss of power are near highway 285 and Santa Fe Drive and parts of Lakewood, Englewood and Cherry Creek.
So, yeah the snow is pretty heavy.
