Con Edison has continued its power restoration efforts in Westchester County over the weekend, though the company still maintains the approximately 75,000 still without power may not have it restored until one week from today.
"County wide, approximately 140,000 customers had their service restored," the company said in a statement Sunday night. "Con Edison expects to have the vast majority of those impacted by the storm restored by next weekend."
While the lights have been out in many neighborhoods for close to one week, some residents said they have indeed seen Con Edison vehicles working nearby.
"Our entire neighborhood in North White Plains got power around 8 p.m. last night (McBride, Benedict, etc)," Christian commented on Patch Sunday morning. "Lots of Con Ed folks in the neighborhood around that time...finally!
In Pleasantville, Mayor Peter Scherer shared today, "We saw some progress from Con Ed today, with many residents in the Skytop/Summit neighborhood brought back in the very early morning."
Officials noted today that electricity was restored to both the New Rochelle and Rockland campuses of Iona College, including all Westchester residence halls.
Con Edison said in its statement this evening that more than 2,000 crews from outside the company are now in the Westchester County/New York City area assisting with restoration efforts.
"Since Friday, Con Edison has been building two new base camps in FDR State Park in Yorktown and at the Queens Hall of Science to host the out-of-town crews," the statement said.

I just hope that Glen Campbell's Wichita lineman is not the one working on my line. He's one crazy dude. Can't be trusted.
The question needs to be: why do communities who pay some of the highest electricity rates in the country still have a 3rd world electricity infrastructure?
Can I send them the bill for the flood I'm going to get in my basement as my pump cannot operate without power ?
Interesting to note that Rye has the worst resolution numbers of any city/town on this chart. And even with that, there are significant underreported numbers of outages which would only make the percentage worse. These numbers reflect the complete absence of Con Ed trucks in Rye this past week with the exception of Saturday focused on getting the schools open...
I know it seems like a minor problems for some but my baby would not latch and I had to stop breast feeding and switch to formula because my breast pump would not work without power!!! And that besides the fact that you can't even change a diaper or wash baby bottle in this circumstances!!!!!!!!!! Have not seen Con Ed around!!!
Whining? Hell yeah. If I could walk I'd STILL be furious.
It's not whining to expect that our roads should be passable one week after the storm. It's not whining to note that Bigfoot is sighted more frequently than a con Ed truck. It's not whining to expect our government to govern and implement common sense contingency plans. The problem we have in our town...and country...is that no one is ever held accountable for anything. Ever. We'd all be better off if we stopped making excuses for not getting stuff done. That's especially poignant on the eve of election day. The bottom line is that New Castle and Con Ed squandered the advance notice our weather forecasters provided. They waited until the damage was done before calling for assistance and dispatching crews. By that time the trucks couldn't even get to where they were needed. It doesn't take a genius to realize it's smarter to deploy before the roads are impassable.
Government ran otb wnnt bankrupt . The federal government took over a house of ill repute it went bankrupt.
Reply Michael Woyton 11:04 am on Monday, November 5, 2012 Agreed, @Brad. I just checked my status on the Con Ed Web site and it said they had no record of an outage at my apartment. If you still don't have power, call or check your status online. Just commuted with a girl that yes reported online a week ago lives off Rt 6, 200 neighbors. Con Ed had no record of power outage in her developement.
New Castle 65%, Scarsdale 59%, north castle 55%, Briarcliff 53% Bedford 53% Rye 49%. Looks like expensive towns are mostly out. Is anybody has explanation? Is it due to ancient lines, or mismanagement or else?
we have seen no Con ed trucks in the area , saw a tree truck working last night on Lookout st in Mohegan Lake , power out over a week now , but no one working this morning , street is blocked , 25 degrees and 40 inside, and another storm coming , I find it amazing that we live in one of the highest taxed counties in the US and this is happening , its time to get out , so not worth it !!!
It would be a one-time cost to bury them and the compsanies should get a tax break so they can't complain. Do it already.
