NBC10’s Randy Gyllenhaal in StormForce10 reports several accidents in Pennsylvania counties as the snow quickly turns into ice.
A blown transformer likely caused more than 4,500 customers to lose power in a New Jersey township Sunday night.
Officials reported seeing bright flashes ahead of the outage in Brick Township, Ocean County before thousands of residents lost power around 9:30 p.m. Power was restored to Brick Township neighbors around 11 p.m.
Several hundred customers are without power in Pennsylvania.
PECO reported fewer than 100 customers without power, while Atlantic City Electric had fewer than 200 customers experiencing outages and Delmarva Power had about 175 customers in the dark.
Freezing rain that fell throughout Sunday coated power lines with ice. The icy conditions could combine with winds overnight to lead to even more power outages across the region.
