Baldwin EMC shared photos from the snow day as they provided updates.

According to Baldwin EMC’s Facebook post, the weather system has made it hard for crews to travel to do repairs.

Officials said, “For those without power, please know they are working as safely and quickly as possible to make repairs and get your power restored. For those with power, please do your best to limit the amount of power you’re using. Limit the use of non-essential appliances like ovens, dishwashers and dryers, keep lights off in unoccupied rooms, set your thermostat to 68 degrees or lower if possible. If you experience an outage, turn off your heater and wait 15 minutes until after power is restored before turning it back on.

“Thank you all for your patience and assistance!”
