"BGE is gearing up for the possibility of new storm-related outages, though this approaching weather system is not expected to have as significant an impact on electric service as last week's storm," said A. Christopher Burton, a senior vice president for BGE.
Even so, the utility said customers should be prepared for more extended waits for repairs this time.
"With freezing rain and ice forecasted for this storm," Burton said, "road conditions will be extremely hazardous, which would delay the arrival of restoration crews and extend outage durations."
