WPCNR THE POWER NEWS. 11 P.M. E.S.T. NOVEMBER 7, 2012:
It’s 11:10 P.M., is your power on, Mr. and Mrs. White Plains? Not for 1,355 of you.
The wet heavy snow falling since 11 A.M. Wednesday, though an out-of-state crew turned on Ethelridge Road in Gedney Farms in snow-in-your-face conditions this afternoon, the snow job seems certain to keep over a thousand White Plains residents in the dark and cold another two days.
Con Ed is now telling White Plains they can not expect to be fully restored until Friday at 12 midnight which is exactly the schedule they told us one week ago when they said all Westchester would be restored by November 10.
With operations curtailed by the snow, 36,090 Westchesterites remain without power in the midnight hour.

WPCNR THE POWER NEWS. From the Mayor’s Office. November 7, 2012, 4:45 P.M.:
Mayor Thomas Roach of White Plains reported as of 4:45 saying the number of White Plains residents without power as of 4:45 P.M. is 1,646 out of over 23,000 customers according to Consolidated Edison.
He remarked “The city of White Plains remains fully mobilized in advance of the coastal storm entering our area and snow and significant winds are anticipated. Please keep an eye on the forecast and be guided accordingly. Con Ed is not distributing dry ice today.
Multiple out-of-state crews are in the city today, working on power restoration. The number of customers without power ,has dropped to 1,646 out of over 23,000 customers, according to Con Ed. While this is progress it is not acceptable that 9 days after a storm such a significant portion of our community is still without power. We are continuing to advocate strongly with Con Ed, multiple times per day to insure that adequate resources are applied to our city. We will continue to do so until every resident has had their power restored, and this issue will not conclude at that point.
A number of residents have contacted us to ask how they might help. A list of agencies is located on our website (www.cityofwhiteplains.com) and they may also receive updated information at our hotline, 422-5150.

WPCNR County Clarion-Ledger. From the Westchester County Clerk. November 7, 2012:
“The number of foreclosure filings in the third quarter of 2012 jumped from the third quarter of 2011,” reported Westchester County Clerk Timothy C. Idoni, who serves as Clerk of the Westchester County Supreme Court where foreclosure actions are heard. “However, these numbers fall below the historic highs seen between 2007 and 2010,” continued Idoni. The County Clerk added that he hoped the quarter was an aberration, with older cases finally being adjudicated as the year had been relatively positive until the third quarter.
The Office of the Westchester County Clerk reported five hundred and nine (509) foreclosure actions started between July 1st and September 30th of this year, as compared with four hundred and thirteen (413) during the same period last year. Sixty one (61) foreclosure judgments have been entered in the third quarter of 2012, in comparison to fifty one (51) entered during the third quarter of 2011.
