Wisconsin Public Service hopes you will be able to heat your home, cook a hot meal and watch some college basketball before Wednesday arrives.

WPS workers have restored power to more than 11,000 customers across the state since storms began hitting the area Friday. Shortly before noon, just under 500 WPS customers in Door County were still without power after outages peaked at more than 1,500 on Monday.

Crews were met with whiteout conditions, treacherous roads and more than 2 feet of snow, but WPS spokesperson Matthew Cullen says their equipment allows them to slow down rather than stop completely in conditions like these.

The hope is that the remaining customers without power will have it back by Tuesday evening. Cullen reminds residents to stay at least 25 feet away from downed wires and to report them immediately to WPS or local law enforcement.

During the storm, the Door County Sheriff’s Department received approximately 10 reports of downed wires as the area was pelted with heavy snow and wind gusts exceeding 50 mph.
