NB Power urging its customers for patience as they grapple with the negative effects of heavy ice-laden tree branches hitting power lines leaving thousands without power.
The utility taking to Twitter to let people know that crews will be working through Christmas to restore power.
They expect power will be restored by late tomorrow or Christmas day but some folks won't have power for four days.
Under normal conditions, NB Power would get help from its counterparts in other provinces but the massive weather system stretches from Nova Scotia to Ontario so those crews are stretched too.
