PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Much of the area is waking up to dig out. The wet, heavy snow and rain have made for travel troubles on area roads.
In New Hope, a tree came crashing down, bringing utility equipment with it on River Road.
There were previously thousands of power outages across the area. At one point Monday morning, PECO officials said more than 5,000 homes in Bucks County alone were without power. That is now down to about 450 customers.
Around 1,000 PECO customers are without power in Montgomery County.
While it looks very pretty, wet heavy snow like the kind we got overnight can be problematic if it weighs down tree branches in the wrong spot like over power lines @CBSPhilly pic.twitter.com/rMouDPauSy
