The big winter storm that hit Southern California left behind magnificent snow covered mountains and a lot of cleanup work. As of very late Sunday, 38,500 Los Angeles Dept. of Water and Power customers still had no power.
LADWP officials said they’d already restored power to 127,000 customers, adding: “Crews won’t stop until all are restored.”
One crew member was seriously injured while on the job in San Fernando Valley on Saturday and remains in intensive care.
“This accident and serious injury of our employee is a reminder that our line crews and other field personnel are truly unsung heroes who work in hazardous conditions risking their lives to keep the power flowing across our city,” said LADWP General Manager Martin Adams in a statement on Sunday. “The safety of our employees and customers is our highest priority, and we are praying that he makes a full recovery.”

As of 4:30 a.m. Monday, an additional 1,700 Southern California Edison customers were without power, with more than 700 of those in L.A. County.
What’s next
A new milder storm system moved into the area Sunday night.
Another (weaker) storm will impact the area tonight-Weds. Snow levels will be lowest Tues-Weds. While we won’t see snow levels quite as low as this last storm, the Grapevine will still be affected.
