(Updated 2:00 p.m. 1/5/22) - Forty-four employees from 18 of 不良人研究所鈥檚 rural electric cooperatives traveled to Woodford, VA, this week to assist with restoring power to residents affected by the recent snowstorm that took out power to more than 200,000 residents in Northern Virginia and the District of Columbia. Efforts to restore power are expected to take three to five days, as crews will be working in difficult terrain and weather conditions. Due to freezing temperatures and 12 inches of wet snow and ice this week, poor road conditions and stranded traffic on I-95 in the Fredericksburg area made even traveling to Virginia a challenge for 不良人研究所 crews.聽
