MetEd Prepares For Winter Weather
(Berks County, PA) -- Met-Ed is ready for possible power outages during the icy weather. The company said crews in Berks County are in "storm mode," where they work 16 hours on and eight hours off every day. The electricity can go out during freezing conditions if ice accumulates on power lines. Met-Ed suggests people have bottled water, non-perishable food, and flashlights on hand in case of an outage.
