Today’s snowstorm hasn’t caused any power outages in the Chattanooga area so far, EPB spokeswoman Lacie Newton said about 11 a.m. today.
EPB placed chains on all its trucks and stationed response crews late Sunday on both Lookout Mountain and Signal Mountain in anticipation of the winter storm, she said.
“The snow so far has been pretty dry and we have no weather-related power outages to report from last night or this morning,” Newton said.
Melting snow and the prospect of ice on power lines could cause problems this week, but so far neither EPB nor the Tennessee Valley Authority have suffered any downed power lines.
“No problems have been reported on the TVA system,” TVA spokeswoman Barbara Martocci said.
