Although an overwhelming majority of the complaints about today’s snowfall have revolved around thoroughly brutal traffic and snow plows — or the lack thereof — that might just be because the people who would be angry about their power situation are unable to electronically register their frustration. According to reports, approximately 150,000 people in the Washington, D.C. region were without power around 8 p.m. tonight — that includes more than 93,000 outages in Pepco’s service area. As you can see from the map above, the outages appear hitting upper Northwest D.C. and a large portion of Montgomery County the hardest (red on the map means more than 5,000 outages reported), but a whole lot of the Pepco customer base is struggling.

We’re hearing a lot of reports of downed trees knocking down power lines around the city, even from folks like Meet the Press moderator David Gregory. Just a reminder: if your power is out or you see downed wires, you should call Pepco to report it at 1-877-737-2662; and of course, keep a safe distance.
