*** Major Late-Winter Storm for AEP’s East Utilities Today ***
*** Heavy Wind-Driven Snow for I&M Power and NW Ohio ***
*** High Winds & Severe Thunderstorms for APCo ***
A intensifying storm will track directly across AEP’s East Utilities today bringing a range of wild weather.
Heavy, wet, wind-driven snow now falling over I&M Power & northwest Ohio will gradually become a dry snow as temperatures fall into the 20s. However, enough heavy wet snow has already fallen to generate some problems for the utility.
