At its peak on Monday morning, 130,000 Nova Scotia Power customers were without electricity. That number was down to about 37,000 by 6 p.m. as Nova Scotia Power crews worked through the day. The Halifax area saw a majority of the outages from the storm after heavy, wet snow accumulated overnight into Monday morning. Nova Scotia Power opened its emergency operations centre at 6 a.m. Monday, in the midst of the storm, and said the heavy snow brought down trees and branches onto power lines and piled up on power equipment.
