Vermont Business Magazine Green Mountain Power is closely tracking multiple forecasts calling for strong winds through the day Monday. Meteorologists say gusts ramp up Monday potentially reaching 60 MPH and scattered outages are possible with greater risk for more along the eastern slopes of the Green Mountains. The strong winds are the second part of a storm that first brought wintry mixed precipitation to the area starting Saturday night.
“We follow any changes in the weather very closely so we can respond quickly and safely for our customers,” said Eric Lemery, from GMP’s operations division. “We have been tracking this storm for days and we’re prepared for the forecast.”
Forecasters say along with the strong winds, temperatures will be dropping and roads could be slippery. GMP is reminding everyone to stay away from any downed lines or trees and to drive carefully. Customers can easily report outages and get restoration times by using GMP’s interactive online outage center. It was designed by GMP’s IT department to load quickly on cellphones, and be user-friendly. Click here to see: https://outages.greenmountainpower.com
