Winter Weather California
In hard-hit southeastern Michigan, still reeling from last week's ice storm and high winds, the state's two main utilities — DTE Energy and Consumers Energy — reported more than 210,000 homes and businesses without power as of noon Sunday. Most of those, about 173,000, were DTE customers, with Consumers Energy reporting about 37,000 of its customers without power.
She said the power restoration efforts have proved time-consuming because of the large number of power lines that were damaged, including individual lines that link single homes to the grid. Hecht said the utility's meteorologists have been tracking another storm system that will move into Michigan on Monday, and the utility is “prepared to respond."
“Extremely dangerous and near to impossible mountain travel is expected due to heavy snow and strong wind,” the National Weather Service’s Sacramento office warned on Twitter.
