BUFFALO, N.Y. — Tens of thousands of customers woke up without power in Western New York Thursday morning, but things are improving across the region.

A wintry mix of snow, freezing rain and ice moved through the area Wednesday and overnight into Thursday, and that combination wreaked havoc on trees and power lines.

As of 5:30 a.m. Friday, 5,196 NYSEG customers were without power in Erie County.

National Grid was reporting more than 1,600 customers in the dark Friday morning. The estimated restoration time was listed as 8 a.m.
