A powerful winter storm is wreaking havoc on Northern Maine and Western New Brunswick today, causing slippery roads and power outages.

More than 300 NB Power crews are working to repair damage from Tropical Storm Arthur that has left tens of thousands of people in New Brunswick without electricity for a nearly a week.

A message from the the Emergency Measures Organization: Tonight, July 10th, 2014 at 5pm suppers will be provided for residents without power in following areas: Canterbury High School and Debec United Church.
