842 Still Without Power In Briarcliff And Ossining Thursday Morning

OSSINING, N.Y. – Almost 842 Con Edison customers remained without power in Briarcliff Manor and Ossining Thursday morning, more than a week after Hurricane Sandy brought strong winds, rain and flooding to the area. Wednesday’s nor’easter did not appear to have driven the number of outages back up.
