As of around 10:30 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 25, PSEG Long Island was working to repair 83 active outages, which was impacting 2,256 of the company’s 1,173,357 customers.

The bulk of the outages were being reported in Nassau, including 1,309 in Oyster Bay, 312 in Hempstead, and 231 in North Hempstead.

In Suffolk County, there were 404 outages being reported, with 240 in Huntington, 134 in Brookhaven, and less than five in Babylon and Shelter Island.

“Around New York City, warm air to the south will win the war on Friday with rain for much of the area, after sleet and freezing rain fell on Thursday night," said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski.

"A gradual transition to rain will then take place into Friday morning. However, roads and sidewalks are likely to still be slippery especially over the northern and western suburbs and in parts of central Long Island, where the wintry mix is likely to linger for a time.”
