Scarsdale 10583

The Con Edison website still shows that 1192 homes in Scarsdale remain without power on Tuesday, but this count should decline today as repair crews have finally arrived in town. It is heartening to see trucks lined up on Village streets. We spoke to workers on Brite Avenue in Greenacres who had come here from all over the country to assist. We have also heard that there are crews in Edgewood. The Con Edison map also now shows that some homes should be back in business today, though for most the deadline is still Wednesday at midnight. If you see repairmen near your home, please send a comment to the site so that we can track activity around town.

The Fox Meadow School had a noon dismissal on Monday due to a power outage, but heat, power and phone lines have now been repaired and all district schools are open today. Scarsdale Synagogue on Ogden Road has no power so all activities are cancelled for Tuesday.

An email from Mayor Miriam Flisser says that Con Edison is offering free dry ice at the Midway Shopping Center on Central Avenue from 1-7 pm today (Tuesday). If everything in your freezer has not already thawed, give it a try. The Mayor also reports the following, “The priorities continue to be: road closures; restoration of power; and then removal of potential hazards. Con Ed reports that more crews are arriving from other locations. The estimated restoration time for the majority of customers is still Wednesday Nov 2 at 12:59 PM.

Meanwhile, trick or treaters seemed to largely ignore a recommendation from the Village to stay inside on Halloween night. One mom reports giving out six large bags of candy, and even a downed wire on Brewster Road did not prevent costumed kids from collecting their goodies.

I would like to make note of the excellent job Scarsdale has been doing in cleaning up from the storm. In the Green Acres area last week, this weekend and this week too our municipal workers seem to be everywhere, hustling away as they clean up debris, remove tree limbs by cherry-pickers and also vacuum up the autumn leaves. Also, I've seen plenty of Con Ed trucks around, checking electrical lines everywhere. Thanks guys!

Power restored to Gorham Court as of yesterday evening (11/1/11). We were without power or heat for two days - easy! (Thank goodness for local relatives with extra space).

I will be following up with Cod Ed though because we seem to have too many outages on our small court despite the power lines staying up, and all of Brewster Road was with power.

I have seen LIPA crews around Heathcote, but we still remain without power.
Con Edison has no information when we call.
