That is concerning news for New Yorkers dealing with the snow.
Based on the most recent available real-time data from Con Edison and state-level power outage trackers:
- Con Edison is currently reporting a very low number of customers without power, with 7 customers out across their service area as of a recent update.
- New York State overall has a small number of outages, with 38 homes and businesses without power statewide, according to one tracker.
This suggests the “hundreds of New Yorkers” figure in your news snippet might be slightly higher than the most current utility reporting, or the outages mentioned (85 in Jamaica, 75 in the Bronx) may have been quickly resolved or are still active but spread across the boroughs and not yet reflected in a single total.
| Utility/Region | Customers Out | Outage Count |
| Con Edison | 7 | N/A |
| New York State | 38 | N/A |
For the most up-to-date and specific details, I recommend checking the Con Edison Outage Map directly, as their data is often updated every 15-30 minutes.
