Dec. 16—About 800 PPL customers across the county remain without power Friday afternoon after snow, rain and ice blanketed the region.

Crews have restored power to just under 1,000 customers since Friday morning. About 268 customers in the Clarks Summit area still had power outages, according to PPL's outage map. Weather problems were blamed for the outages and estimates for when power would be restored were not available.

PPL also did not estimate when power may return for 63 customers around Heart Lake Road, Tompkinsville Road and Country Club Road in Scott Twp.

"We're working to determine how long it will take to restore power," the utility company said.
